Ham and Cheese Corn Bread Rolls

Ingredients

1½ ounces (¼ cup) uncooked yellow cornmeal
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp double-acting baking powder
3 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
5 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
2 tbsp plain low-fat yogurt
1 tbsp pickle relish
1 tsp mustard
6 ounces thinly sliced boiled ham

Method
 

  • Preheat oven to 400oF.

  • Line 15 x 10½ x 1-inch nonstick jelly-roll pan with wax paper; spray paper with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

  • In small mixing bowl combine cornmeal, flour, sugar and baking powder; set aside.

  • Using electric mixer on medium speed, in large mixing bowl beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.

  • Alternately fold in cornmeal mixture and oil; fold in 2 ounces cheese.

  • Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and bake for 5 to 6 minutes (top should spring back when lightly touched with finger; do nor over bake).

  • Remove from oven and turn bread onto a towel; remove and discard wax paper.

  • Starting at wide end, roll bread with towel; set on wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.

  • In small mixing bowl combine yogurt, relish and mustard; set aside.

  • Unroll bread, remove towel and top with ham slices; spread yogurt mixture over ham and sprinkle with remaining 3 ounces cheese.

  • Reroll bread and place, seam-side down, in nonstick jelly-roll pan and bake at 4000F until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  • To serve, cut into 12 equal slices.

  • MAKES 6 SERVINGS, 2 SLICES EACH

Notes:

  • Why is some cornmeal yellow rather than white?

  • It's the variety of corn that is dried and ground into meal that determines the color.

  • Except for the fact that white cornmeal has a trace of vitamin A, there is no difference between the two.
