Ham & Cheese Breakfast Strudels Recipe image

These get the morning off to a great start! Sometimes I assemble the strudels ahead and freeze them individually before baking. -Jo Groth, Plainfield, Iowa

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 Eggland's Best Eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 pound ground fully cooked ham (about 3/4 cup)
6 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
TOPPING:
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheeses and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add eggs to pan; cook and stir until almost set. Stir in ham and reserved cheese sauce; heat through. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons bread crumbs. Fold in half lengthwise; brush again with butter. Spoon 1/2 cup filling onto phyllo about 2 in. from a short side. Fold side and edges over filling and roll up.
  • Brush with butter. Repeat. Place on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon cheese and 1 teaspoon parsley. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
  • Yield: 6 servings.
  • Freeze option: After topping strudels with cheese and parsley, freeze unbaked on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer to a freezer container; return to freezer. To use, bake strudels as directed, increasing time to 30-35 minutes or until heated through and golden brown.
