Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make the roll ahead of time?
Sure, assemble it a few hours beforehand and keep it chilled. Add breadcrumbs just before baking for extra crunch.
→ How do I stop it from leaking during baking?
Secure the edges tightly, don’t overfill, and leave enough space around the border to seal it well.
→ What kind of cheese works best?
Swiss cheese is the go-to, but you can use Gruyère or Emmental as long as it melts nicely.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain that crispy crust.
→ Can this roll be frozen?
Yes, freeze it either raw or cooked. If raw, add 5-10 minutes to the baking time. If cooked, just heat it in the oven until warm.
