Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prep the roll ahead of time?
Yes, assemble it a few hours ahead and keep it cool. Add breadcrumbs right before baking for the crispiest crust.
→ How do I keep the filling from leaking out?
Pinch the edges tightly to seal. Don’t overload the filling and leave a border around the edges.
→ What kind of cheese works best?
Swiss is the classic choice, but Emmental or Gruyère melts beautifully too. Go for one with good melting qualities.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the crust crunchy.
→ Can this roll be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze it before or after cooking. If uncooked, bake for 5-10 minutes longer. If cooked, reheat in the oven until warmed through.
