Ham, Broccoli, and Cheese Rolls


*Makes 12-16 rolls

1 recipe roll dough (that yields about 12 rolls), I used this recipe
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
2 cups chopped ham (leftover ham or deli ham works great here) (Or shredded chicken instead of ham)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped broccoli
2 cups shredded cheese (I used mozzarella and cheddar)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup finely chopped green onions

Follow the recipe for your roll dough until the dough has risen. Punch down the dough and roll the dough out into a large rectangle about 1/2-inch thick (about 13 inches by 17 inches). In a small bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Spread the rolled out dough with the butter/cream cheese mixture. Top with the ham, broccoli, cheese, Parmesan cheese, and green onions. Roll the dough up, pinching the seam to seal. Slice the roll into about 1-inch segments. Place the rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise until nearly doubled and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned and bubbly.

My note: I used frozen chopped broccoli, thinking it would thaw while the rolls were rising. Result: the broccoli didn't cook through. The rolls were still delicious, but if you use frozen broccoli, thaw it completely or even cook it a little.
