When it comes to snacks and dieting of course!! I find myself once again bored with the snacks (and lunches) I create while dieting - or "Changing my lifestyle" as WW puts it! The fresh fruit is great and pea pods nice and crispy but sometimes I just want something to sink my teeth into that doesn't cost half my daily points.
I came across this idea the other day while perusing the internet and although I'm not a fan of the baked egg roll wrappers I figured I'd give it a try. So many recipes want you to bake these papery wrappers and that's exactly what they come out like... baked paper! Maybe I was really hungry this time but these were really quite tasty!
Ham & Swiss Rolls1 cup lean ham, minced
1/2 cup 2% Swiss cheese
1 green onion, minced
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
8 egg roll wrappers
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp half & half, fat free
Preheat oven to 400F. Mix ham, cheese and green onion to combine. Place an egg roll wrapper diagonally on work surface and spread 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard in the center. Put two tablespoons of ham mixture on the mustard. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and gently but firmly pull slightly towards you. Fold the left and right sides in and roll to the tip, creating a nice firm roll. Place on sprayed baking sheet and continue with remaining wrappers. Lightly spray rolls with cooking spray. Bake for 8 minutes, turn rolls over, bake for an additional 8 minutes until lightly browned. Mix together remaining tablespoon of mustard, honey and half & half for dipping.
Eaten hot or room temperature, these little rolls do the trick! At a mere 2 pts each they can be a quick snack or a nice filling lunch. I'm going to experiment with some different cheeses and maybe a spinach leaf or two but other than that, I think I'll keep it simple and enjoy the flavors just like they are!
