These get the morning off to a great start! Sometimes I assemble the strudels ahead and freeze them individually before baking. —Jo Groth, Plainfield, Iowa

Ham & Cheese Breakfast Strudels Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

25 15 40

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 pound ground fully cooked ham (about 3/4 cup)
6 sheets phyllo dough
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
TOPPING:
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

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 in. 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° 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 in. apart on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

I also have the same question as pkinneberg -- If you freeze them, do you bake them frozen or thaw in the refrigerator first?

Great recipe! They are beautiful to serve on a special occasion...great presentation. I have one question for those who freeze them....do you bake them frozen or thaw them first?

We really enjoyed these. As a rare treat they are fine. Healthy eating doesn't mean "never".. it means in moderation. They're good, they freeze well... a keeper in my collection.

I haven't made them yet. But, I will. For those of you that think they are bad for you realize that they don't have to be an everyday thing. They can be a special treat for a special time.

how can something so nutritionally bad be a contest winner?

These days we are trying to eat healthier meals and teach our families to make better choices. With over 430 calories, 33 grams of fat and 18 grams of saturated fat per serving; it is surprising to see that this is a contest winner.

I loved these. I made them for my husbands birthday breakfast and they were a real hit. Delicious.

I love these. Have made them in advance for a couple of special occassions now. I too found that the sheets of dough were too small to follow these instructions exactly, so I used two sheets for each strudel (with cumbs and butter in between) instead of folding the single sheet in half to create the double layer. Works a treat. I get requests for these now!

I froze them and we had them on Christmas morning. Had some trouble making, I think my phyllo was a bit smaller than what the recipe used. They were good, but not great.
