Ham and Swiss Egg Roll Up

This is what I'm making tonight... After I make it I will post photos and let you know how it was! I'm excited!

*** UPDATE***
So I made this the other night, and it sure was tasty. An entire bunch of green onions was a little overpowering to my taste, so next time I will probably use half as much. Instead of buying canned mushrooms I bought fresh because why buy canned unless you don't have an option? I would also use a little bit more Dijon Mustard and cut the ham a little chunkier.

Another thing I would recommend is checking the eggs every couple of minutes to make sure that they are cooking evenly. Apparently my oven cooks unevenly so I ended up having to carve some of the egg off before rolling it up.

I HATED the reduced fat Hollandaise Sauce recipe. I'll stick to the fattening stuff.

Overall, this was really fun to make and tasted really good. I will definitely make this again!
