I saw these ham rolls online and figured they would be perfect for our Christmas Eve appetizer dinner with Andy's folks. I made them ahead of time so excited. When I put them on the tray I used parchment paper, figured they wouldn't stick that way.
I tossed everything in the oven when his folks came and sat and relaxed to chat. The oven in our new house is oddly placed in the island, no hood over the range and it has this odd fan/vent system.
"Is there supposed to be smoke pouring out of the vent?" Andy asked knowing my penchant for fires all too well. I ran to the kitchen, stupid parchment paper was on fire. Then I realized all the bottoms of my ham rolls were totally charred. The one appetizer I couldn't wait for – now carbonized.
I still served those dang rolls - everyone took one out of pity. As each person tasted them and promised they didn't taste burned. So I took a bite, it was a Christmas miracle!! They were caramelized and not burnt. Weirdest thing ever.
I will try these again, maybe even make my own dough this time and not use parchment paper... Silpat will work wonders.
