Melt the Edam cheese slices

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place 8 Edam cheese slices slightly overlapping to form a rectangle. Lay them down very closely, so they won't have gaps. I'm using Edam cheese slices, for it's melting properties and texture required for roulade.

Bake in the oven for 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and fuses (do not overbake) - keep an eye and do not run from the oven! I almost missed and the cheese almost burned!

Remove from the oven, if there are some small gaps, gently tap with a spoon while it's still hot, to stick it together and let it cool slightly until it's pliable but not too hot - then you can easily detach cheese from parchment paper.

Prepare the filling

To make the most delicious and creamiest filling I chose the most fresh and matching ingredients. Here's how to make it:

In a bowl, mix together.

• 2-3 boiled eggs, diced
• 200 g cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tbsp sour cream or mayonnaise (optional)
• 100 g grated cheese (cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella)
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 50 g crushed hazelnuts (or any nuts of choice)
• A pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Assemble the roulade

Spread the prepared filling evenly over the melted and cooled Edam cheese sheet.

Carefully roll the cheese sheet into a tight log, starting from one edge.

Use parchment paper or a tea towel to guide the rolling process.

Chill the roulade

Wrap the cheese log tightly in parchment paper.

Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up. You can speed up the process by putting cheese roulade into the freezer for about 10 minutes - in case you are awaiting guests :)

Slice and serve

Once chilled, unwrap the roulade and slice it into even rounds.

Garnish with 100 g fresh green grapes for a decorative and refreshing touch. You can use creativity and serve with zic zac cut grapes to decorate a platter or just enjoy Cheese Roulade on its own.
