This is a dish that My Love and I tried one night, and have been altering the ingrediants each time we make it. It's a dish that even I could tackle by myself while he was working in the basement. So try your luck with it, and have fun!
Ham 'n Swiss Stromboli
1 tube (11 oz.) refrigerated French bread
6 oz. thinly sliced deli ham
6 green onions, sliced
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 c. (6 oz.)f shredded Swiss cheese
Unroll dough on a greased baking sheet. Place ham over dough to with in 1/2" of edges; sprinkle evenly with onions, bacon, and cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on backing sheet. With a sharp knife, cut several 1/4" deep slits on top of loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 26-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting.
**We've used deli sliced turkey in place of the ham and it was just as delicious. We've also added green olives (be careful with these though because they add a lot of salt), diced tomato, and even cream cheese. You just have to make sure that you don't load it up too thick or you won't be able to seal up the dough. I also use the precooked crumbled bacon that you find by the dressing at your grocery store. It's much faster and tastes the same!
