These Baked Ham and Cheese Rolls are perfect for summer lunches and school lunch boxes! They’re also perfect to take to work!
Friday was Big Bear’s Birthday. *Happy Birthday Weekend, BigBear!*
I’ve always made a point to bake or make something extra special for his birthday. He’s not really big into birthday cake so most years I end up making cheesecake for him. For two years in a row he asked for this Peanut Butter Truffle Mousse Cheesecake. I did a pretty good job with mine, he loved it and I was happy with it. Last year was a rush and he requested these No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecakes, they were also a hit!
The thing with making Big Bear birthday treats is that I literally have to drag it out of him. Like “Honey, what do you want for your birthday?” — “Don’t matter :)” — “No, really what do you want” — “Anything will be fine” — NO that’s not how it’s suppose to work haha.
But this year I only had to ask him once and he made me a list. haha I suppose that’s what I get for asking, right? But that’s totally cool because I rocked that list and I made everything on it! He chowed down on his favorite foods yesterday and ate like a king haha. 🙂
Here’s what was on his list:

I surprised him with the cookies at work, he had the hash for breakfast, with Honey Teriyaki salmon and loaded potato skillet for dinner!
Plus he got an extra little goodie that he hadn’t requested. I made a batch of these Baked Ham and Cheese Rolls for this lunch on Friday. He made a point to tell me that they were 100% “Big Bear Approved” haha.
So since today for #SundaySupper our theme is “LunchBox Meals”, I knew that these would be perfect to share with everyone today! Big Bear was amazed that they taste so good and only have 3 ingredients! I can’t believe I hadn’t made them before.
I’m telling you, sometimes simple is really best! Serve them with a side of pizza sauce and you’ve got a meal that is a keeper!!
What you’ll need:
7.5 oz package of colby jack cheese slices
1.5 pound of pre-cooked ham slices
1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)
1.5 pound of pre-cooked ham slices
1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)
*Pizza Sauce for dipping* Optional
What to do:
Pre-heat the oven to 400F.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
Lay cheese slices all over the pizza dough.
Lay a layer of ham slices over the cheese.
Starting at the short end on the right, roll the dough with cheese and ham inside towards the left, jelly roll style. (Like Cinnamon Rolls)
Once it’s completely rolled together, place it on a cutting board with the seam down.
With a sharp knife, carefully cut one inch “rolls”. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Your ham and cheese rolls look terrific, Angie! And I love that your hubby gave you a food request list for his birthday 🙂
These look so cheesy good and would be a very welcome addition to any lunch box. Nicely done!
Happy birthday to Big Bear! These are so fun and so adorable!
Oh how yummy! I have had something similar pre-made from the grocery deli, but yours look WAY better! I’ll have to definitely try! And Happy Birthday to husband! My husband is pretty much the same when it comes to options…he’ll always say “everything you make is good”, which is nice but totally misses the point!
Yum! These look simply delicious! I just love it!!
Mmmm these do sound delicious. I give them an A+ also!
These look delicious!!
Very handy, Angie!
oh my goodness, these look amazing! we do something similar, but we bake it as one huge loaf and then cut them up after… and it always feels like it takes an eternity in the oven. Slicing them first definitely cuts down on baking time… making these soon!!
Absolutely certain my husband would love these for his lunch too.
What a great idea Angie! They look awesome!
These look great!!
I want this for my Birthday breakfast too…beautiful!! Love the cheese factor!!
You rule, I love how simple you made this seem. Definitely will be doing this for a upcoming get together! 🙂
Oh WOW… I want these in my lunchbox!
Aw, your husband is a lucky man! What a birthday feast! Love the idea of these easy lunchbox rolls… we can’t buy refrigerated pizza dough here, but I definitely have to make these with homemade pizza dough. I’m pretty sure that my husband would adore them!
These look so good and so easy!
These look so tempting and are a great idea for kids and adults 🙂 Love the gooey melted cheese all over!So yum 🙂
WOW. so easy! These are awesome! Where would we be without the ready-made doughs?
Delicious birthday treat! And so easy to make. Thanks for sharing 🙂
