Recipe Questions & Answers

Can I use turkey or ham instead of chicken?

Yes, turkey or ham can be substituted to vary the flavor and maintain a similar texture.

How do I prevent the rolls from becoming soggy?

Ensure the filling is well mixed and not overly moist before rolling. Baking on parchment paper helps with even browning.

What dips pair well with these rolls?

Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli complement the savory filling nicely.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the rolls and refrigerate them before baking. Bake fresh when ready to serve.

Are there suggested toppings for extra flavor?

Brushing with melted butter and sprinkling garlic powder or smoked paprika before baking adds extra richness.
