2. Flatten the Bread

1. Lay each slice of bread on a clean surface.
2. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the bread until flat and thin.

3. Prepare the Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions or chives.

1. Place 2 heaping teaspoons of the bacon-cheese mixture onto one end of a flattened bread slice.
2. Roll the bread tightly around the filling.
3. Place the roll seam-side down on a cutting board and slice it in half widthwise.

2. Stand the rolls upright, side by side, in the greased baking dish.

6. Refrigerate

1. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the rolls in the dish.

Tips for Success

1. Choose the Right Bread: Use a sturdy loaf like country white or wheat bread to avoid sogginess.
2. Don’t Overfill: Avoid overloading the bread with filling to prevent it from falling apart.

4. Bake Until Golden: The final baking step adds a delightful crunch to the top.
5. Serve Fresh: These roll-ups are best enjoyed warm from the oven.

Variations to Try

1. Vegetarian Version

• Omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms and spinach for a flavorful alternative.

2. Spicy Kick
