Cheesy Polony Rollups
A childhood classic, easy-to-make
As a father of three children, I know that the best way to get children to eat all different types of foods, is to expose them to the kitchen. And so I made these cheesy polony rollups together with the children. By adding some spinach, it had some good nutrients in the dish. They loved being part of the process, and loved eating it too!
Ingredients to make cheesy polony rollups
Simply Chicken premium polony
1 mozzarella cheese
200 g baby spinach
9 slices of brown bread
3 eggs
4 tbsp butter
How to prepare cheesy polony rollups
Cut the edges off the slices of bread Line up three rows of three slices each, overlapping the slices slightly.
Press down so the slices stick together, then use a rolling pin to flatten the slices of bread.
Slice up the mozzarella cheese and Polony. Whisk the eggs.
Butter the bread slices and cover generously with cheese slices.
Sautée the spinach and add on top.
Add the Polony, and end with another layer of mozzarella cheese.
Roll up the bread with the filling and dip the rolled up bread in the whisked eggs.
Enjoy! Please tag me on Instagram if you’ve made this recipe, I’d love to see it!

If you’re looking for an easy and healthy, kid-friendly breakfast recipe, why not make the old school toad in a hole? chorizo, mushroom, egg and cheese in beetroot wrap cups were a hit with my children. I also love a hearty breakfast, like this pork sausage shakshuka. And if it’s pancakes you’re looking for, I have published several recipes on this blog. The most popular by far is this fluffiest flapjack recipe, which we make every year on Mother’s Day. For a healthier version, these banana, oats and egg pancakes are easy to make, and delicious. And let’s not forget the pink lady apple donut flapjacks, these were a firm favourite with our kids as well. All in all, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with these recipes you won’t have a reason to skip it.

Fast-forward to late 2021 - on a whim Shawn (encouraged by his wife Lianne) enters MasterChef South Africa. It is a crazy time of life: running a 200 people business and struggling to keep it profitable, two small children with a third on the way, and about to move into a new house. But when Shawn gets selected to be one of the 20 contestants participating in the fourth season of MasterChef South Africa, he decides to go all in. Leaving his 7-month-pregnant wife to look after their then three and one-year-old children, he battles it out and comes back home five weeks later with the trophy and a million rand prize money in his pocket.
It all started with an Instagram account, but The Roasted Dad is so much more now. Shawn has stayed his entrepreneurial self and whilst he hosts Private Dinner Parties and Cook-with-Me Demos, does Restaurant Take-Overs, he still runs the lighting company and several other businesses.
