Ham And Cheese Breakfast Strudels - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup swiss cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 eggs, beaten
1/4 lb ham, fully cooked (about 3/4 cup)
6 sheets phyllo dough
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
Topping
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Preparation

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheeses and salt. Set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add eggs to the pan; cook and stir until almost set. Stir in ham and reserved cheese sauce; heat through. Remove from the heat.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons bread crumbs. Fold in half lengthwise; brush again with butter. Spoon 1/2 cup filling onto phyllo about 2 inches from a short side. Fold side and edges over filling and roll up.
Brush with butter. Repeat. Place desired number of strudels on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon cheese and 1 teaspoon parsley. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
To freeze and bake strudels: Individually wrap uncooked strudels in waxed paper and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
