<\/p>\nRkakat Jibneh aka cheese rolls\u00a0 are one of those culinary ideas too good not to be learned and made. They are light, crispy, and filled with the most delicious oozy melted cheese.\u00a0 Lebanese and Middle Easterns call it rkakat jibneh. The crisp, golden packages are the perfect dish to celebrate any occasion. Look no further for restaurant-quality cheese rolls that are super delectable and fun to make.<\/p>\n

One of the favorite appetizers to order at a Lebanese or Middle Eastern restaurant are these fried cheese rolls, luckily, they can easily be made at home; it\u2019s hard to eat just one; they are super decadent with a stretchy oozy filling and a thin and crispy wrapper. For the\u00a0 best results, fry these, but if you are a health-consious person, you can cook these in your air fryer. The result will not be nearly as crispy, but they will still taste good.<\/p>\n

Absolutely yes, no matter the time of year, you\u2019ll find these cheese rolls in my freezer, the good news is that they can go directly from freezer to fryer. For freezing: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the cheese rolls in a single layer, leaving the rolls separated. Freeze for several hours until they solidify, remove from the sheet pan and store in a zip-top (this will prevent them from sticking together), they keep in the freezer for 2 months.<\/p>\n
I have 2 different recipes in my repertoire for the cheese rolls, the first one where I mix the cheeses together with a raw egg, stuff, roll and fry, easy peasy right? But after testing, I found the cooking method on the stove top with a with a light bechamel included, takes the cheese rolls to another level, interms of taste and stretchiness, a fancy recipe that will make you look and feel like a total pro chef.<\/p>\n

You will not notice the presence of the bechamel, you will just feel a more stretchy cheese filling, so no worries here.<\/p>\n
The recipe is adaptable and any stretchy cheese can be used as a substitute.<\/p>\n
Yes, to prevent the cheese rolls from leaking while frying, freeze the rolls for about 40 minutes prior to frying or baking, this will prevent the cheese rolls from leaking when exposed to high temperature.<\/p>\n
