Ham and Swiss Stromboli
Description
This recipe uses a French bread or pizza dough rolled out into a rectangle and layered with thinly sliced ham, green onions, cooked crumbled bacon, and shredded Swiss cheese. It is then rolled tightly from a long side, sealed by pinching the seams, and baked until golden brown. The baking creates a firm crust that contains the melted cheese and meat filling within.
The Swiss cheese provides a mild nuttiness that complements the smoky bacon and savory ham. Green onions add a subtle fresh bite. The texture combines a crisp crust with a soft, gooey inside where cheese melts around the meat and onions.
Serving it warm allows for easier slicing and the full enjoyment of the melted cheese. This stromboli can be cut into slices for a handheld snack, sandwich alternative, or appetizer. It works well when served fresh from the oven to retain flaky bread exterior and melted filling.
Ingredients
- 1 tube (11 ounces) French bread pizza dough can be substituted, refrigerated, crusty loaf
- 6 ounces ham thinly sliced, deli-style
- 3 green onion sliced
- 8 Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1-1/2 /2 cups (6 ounces) swiss cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll dough into a rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Place ham over dough to within 1/2 inches of edges of the dough; sprinkle evenly with onions, bacon and cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on baking sheet.
- With a sharp knife, cut several 1/4-in.-deep slits on top of loaf. Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- Using sliced Swiss cheese instead of shredded is possible but may make rolling the dough more challenging.
- The recipe is adapted from a Taste of Home version with fewer green onions.
- The dough can be pizza dough, refrigerated French bread dough, or a crusty loaf suited to rolling.
