Ingredients
-
6 slices soft white sandwich bread (crusts optional)
-
6 slices deli turkey or ham
-
6 slices cheese
(cheddar, Swiss, provolone, Gouda)
Optional “Glue” Spread (choose one):
-
Mayonnaise
-
Softened cream cheese (best for make-ahead)
-
Mustard
Optional Add-Ins (use sparingly):
-
Baby spinach leaves (patted dry)
-
Shredded carrots
-
Thin cucumber strips
Instructions
-
Flatten the Bread
Using a rolling pin (or glass), roll each slice of bread until thin and flexible. -
Spread the Glue
Apply a very thin layer of mayo or cream cheese over the bread.
Leave a ½-inch border at the top edge uncovered. -
Layer the Fillings
Place cheese first, then turkey or ham.
Keep everything evenly spaced and inside the edges. -
Roll It Up Tight
Starting from the bottom edge, roll the bread firmly into a log.
Keep the seam on the bottom. -
Slice
Use a sharp serrated knife to cut each roll into 3–4 pinwheels. -
Serve or Pack
Enjoy immediately or pack snugly in a container.
Notes
-
Slightly stale bread rolls best
-
Cream cheese = anti-soggy hero
-
Don’t overfill—thin layers roll cleanly
-
Chill before slicing (10–15 min) for ultra-neat cuts
