Broodje Gezond, the Dutch Lunch Roll

10 min Easy With meat or fish 545 kcal 29.2 g protein

The broodje gezond is a Dutch cafeteria classic and needs no recipe, but it does need an order. Lettuce at the bottom as a moisture barrier, then the cheese and ham, then the wet things like tomato and cucumber, egg on top. That keeps the bread dry underneath so it does not collapse at the first bite.

Tips from RandomRecept
  • Crisp the rolls briefly in the oven for a crunchy crust.
  • Pat the cucumber and tomato dry, that stops your roll going soggy.
  • Also good with a thin layer of pesto instead of mayonnaise.

Variations and storing

Swap the boiled egg for a fried one and it becomes a more substantial roll. A thin layer of mayonnaise or mustard also helps hold things together. To take it with you, pack the wet ingredients separately and build it at work.
