Cheese & Bacon Rolls
Fluffy rolls, topped and stuffed with cheese and bacon …. what more can I say except that they are super easy in the Thermomix and a rotation must on any weekly meal plan!
Of course you can leave the bacon out, maybe stuff with some wilted spinach and cheese or even pineapple. Endless possibilities!
Cheese and bacon rolls are best served warm. Enjoy them straight out of the oven or reheat them briefly before serving.
Reheating & Storing Cheese and Bacon Rolls
- After they have cooled, pop them in the fridge if you are not eating them with two days. They will last longer this way.
- Once completely cooled, store them in freezer bags to prevent them from drying out.
- Freeze them if you do not plan to eat them within a few days. Leave out to defrost and then reheat in the oven or in a microwave with a wet piece of kitchen towel over it. 15 secs is usually long enough. If you do heat from frozen add a little more time.
