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 World 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 to add some speed foods to your breakfast

- 3 egg

Method
- Preheat oven to 200c, 400f (gas mark 6)
- Whisk eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium high heat, spray with spray oil and add the eggs, cook till scrambled (but don't over cook, as they will cook more in the oven)
- Remove crusts from each slice of bread, so that each slices weighs no more than 30g/1oz
- Roll each slice of bread flat with a rolling pin
- Place bread on a baking tray lined with parchment and roll flat
- On each slice of bread, add a ¼ of the cheese
- Add a half slice of ham and then top with a ¼ of the scrambled eggs.
- Then grabbing each corner of the bread, fold it into the centre and pinch together like a parcel, securing with a cocktail stick.
- Spray over the top with spray oil and bake in the oven for 20 mins until lightly golden and bread is crisp.
- Enjoy!!

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
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 🙂
Made these today for Saturday brunch and was very impressed! They were delicious, and straight forward to make. Defiantly will be making these again
