Cheese Rolls (Sephardic Recipe) Recipe
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 4 ounce Sharp Cheddar cheese, crumbled
- 3 ounce Greek cheese (feta), crumbled
- 1 x Egg, beaten
- 1 pch Cayenne pepper White bread slices, trimmed Oil for deep frying
Directions
- From Memoirs & Menus, by Georges Spunt. The family was Ashkenazic, with Sephardic elements. The cheese-roll recipe uses the same filling as one for cheese sambuzeks, that I'll post separately.
- Place 1 tsp. of filling down the length of 1 bread slice. Fold over the filled side, tucking it in as you roll. Continue rolling as tightly as possible without squeezing out the filling. Secure with tooth picks.
- Bring about 3 inches of oil to sizzling in a large skillet (375 F on an electric frying pan) and fry the rolls till they are golden. Drain on paper towels and serve at once.
- These may be frzn before frying by placing them on a large cookie sheet and later transferring them to containers or possibly freezer bags.
