My kids love egg and cheese and I am always trying to come up with handy little things to put in their lunch boxes, so they don't have the same boring ole sandwiches every day.
I had an idea in my head or these for a while, but was determined to make them Slimming Eats friendly and it totally worked.
My entire family cleared their plates, while muttering all kinds of deliciousness and then demanded I make more, I take that as a good sign.
These have also given me some ideas for some other variations - so watch this space!!
Great served with my Balsamic Tomatoes and Spinach

I made these this morning for the kids after seeing this post at 3am and for love nor money could I get the cocktail sticks to stay in, they kept ripping the bread!! (I didn't use any ham which I see would be better as they go through that for extra reinforcement!!) anyway I turned them upside down to cook and the kids loved them!!! Thank you x
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hey Laura, yes the ham gives the wooden sticks more to hold on to. So glad to hear they were a hit even if the wouldn't hold together for you without the ham 🙂
Sally says
Made these today for Saturday brunch and was very impressed! They were delicious, and straight forward to make. Defiantly will be making these again
Sheila says
Mmm just seen these on a post on Facebook and seen from the website that you invented them years ago! Wondering if they could be made with bacon (proper UK bacon) instead of ham (presumably cooked first - no cheese and done in air fryer - if yes any ideas on timing for an air fryer?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Sheila, yes that should work fine with English bacon, for conversion to the air fryer you can use my calculator here: https://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/air-fryer-conversion
