How to Make Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls
I like to eat these rolls alongside dinner (like a bread roll), in a tortilla/wrap style with sandwich meat inside, as a bun for an ultra-indulgent burger, or baked in a muffins shape as an easy keto breakfast muffin.

Keto Roll Ingredients
To Make These Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls, You’ll Need:
- Mozzarella cheese (¾ cup) – Melty mozzarella cheese creates the soft, chewy texture that gives these keto rolls their classic bread-like bite without the carbs.
- Cheddar cheese (½ cup) – Sharp cheddar adds rich flavor and a savory depth that makes each roll extra satisfying and cheesy.
- Grated parmesan (½ cup) – Nutty parmesan brings a salty, crispy finish and helps add structure to the rolls as they bake.
- Ham (1 cup) – Diced ham adds hearty protein and smoky, savory flavor that turns these rolls into a filling keto-friendly snack or meal.
- Eggs (2) – Eggs help bind the dough together while adding richness and helping the rolls bake up fluffy and golden.
Steps to Make Gluten Free Ham and Cheese Rolls
Once you have assembled the ingredients, use this method:
Mix
Combine the shredded cheese and egg in a bowl and mix it until the ingredients are fully combined. Stir in ham. Set out a well prepped baking sheet – greased or lined with parchment or a silpat. Form 8 rounds on the parchment paper.
Bake
Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has fully melted and created a slight brown crust. Feel free to mix up your cheese selection – but stick with one grated hard, dry cheese (like parmesan or asiago) to keep the flour-like texture.
Tips and Tricks For Perfect Easy Keto Rolls
Bread Like Texture. Keep at least one hard grated cheese like parmesan or asiago in the mix to help create a more bread-like texture without flour.
Bread-like rolls. Use a Silpain mat or similar perforated silicone baking mat over your cookie sheet. Any extra egg liquid will drop below the mat, allowing the bread to create a crispier crust that mimics fresh artisan bread.
Line Pan. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, a silpat, or a perforated silicone mat to prevent sticking and help the rolls crisp up evenly.
Dice. Dice the ham into very small pieces so it distributes evenly throughout the rolls and helps them hold together better while baking.
To Get a Soft Keto Bread for a Tortilla or Wrap. Bake on parchment paper or foil and trim off any egg liquid that runs off from rolls. Don’t cook until crunchy browned, bread will be fully cooked, but not crispy on the top.

Ham and Cheese Keto Roll FAQs
Yes! These rolls are perfect for meal prep and can be made a few days ahead. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
Keep leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or toaster oven for the best texture.
Absolutely. Let the rolls cool completely, then freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen or thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Because the recipe is cheese-based, a little oil separation is normal. Using freshly shredded cheese and allowing the rolls to cool slightly before serving can help reduce excess grease.
Yes, these rolls are naturally gluten free since they don’t use traditional flour or breadcrumbs.
Yes! Cook the rolls in a preheated air fryer at 350°F until golden brown and cooked through, usually about 8 -10 minutes depending on size.
I’ve made these twice. Delicious. Very easy to make, and quick. Freezes well & I can take out for individual meals.
These were delicious! They sat on my Pinterest board for months and I finally tried them. So good! I also freeze a lot of my food with meal prep, and these reheated well, didn’t dry out at all. Going to make a double batch soon! Thank you for this recipe!
This has been so quick and easy, and such a handy food to grab and go on busy mornings! I eat them hot or cold!
So glad you love them!
Made these for hubbie’s work event, since he’s doing keto & they turned out delicious, & quick & easy to make! UsI d sausage instead of ham b/c of availability. They’re more cheese based than egg, which made for a nice change from traditional egg casseroles. I quadrupled the recipe & made in little & big muffin pans! 5 stars!
So glad you loved them! I like that you made a variety of sizes too, Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Do these have a egg taste to them? I abhor egg taste.
The ham taste is stronger than the egg. If you want to hide i,t try adding a tsp of your favorite hot sauce, it covers egg flavor really well. Hope this helps!
