Steps:
- Saute onion in 1 tbsp melted butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in rice; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Set aside, and let cool. Stir in parsley.
- Work with 1 sheet of phyllo at a time, keeping the remaining sheets covered with a slightly damp towel so they don't dry out. Layer phyllo sheets on a work surface, brushing each sheet with the remaining 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons melted butter. Spoon the reserved rice mixture over phyllo, spreading to within 1 inch of sides. Sprinkle the ham over the rice mixture, then top with the cheeses.
- Starting at the short side, fold the phyllo over 1 inch; fold each long side over 1 inch. Roll up phyllo, starting with the short side. Place the phyllo, seam side down, on a lightly greased broiling rack in a broiler pan. Brush with any remaining melted butter. Make several diagonal slits, about 1/4 inch deep, across the top of the pastry with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden.

HAM AND CHEESE STRUDELS APPETIZER ( PAULA DEEN)
This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house. It is definitely time consuming so plan on it taking more time than you think but it is worth it. It is definitely a keeper flavor wise as the caramelized onions bring out the ham and cheeses. The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH

HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST STRUDELS
I have been going through all of my TOH magazines pulling out the recipes I had marked to try. This recipe is so versatile and can be made ahead and frozen, then just take out of bake. Can replace swiss cheese with another cheese (I like cheddar also) and could use bacon or sausage for the the ham. In first step, melt butter, could add in minced onion/shallot/garlic or red/green bell pepper to soften and then continue with recipe. Also could use light for reduced fat butter and cheeses, egg substitute and skim milk to reduce the calories. Have fun with the recipe and make it fit your family preferences!!! Update 7/31/11 - I made these this morning as written except subbing cheddar cheese for the Swiss and I added some sliced green onion. What a great breakfast or brunch recipe, as they can be made ahead, frozen and then baked on the day you want to serve it.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheeses and salt. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add eggs to the pan; cook and stir until almost set. Stir in ham and reserved cheese sauce; heat through. Remove from the heat.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons bread crumbs. Fold in half lengthwise; brush again with butter. Spoon 1/2 cup filling onto phyllo about 2 inches from a short side. Fold side and edges over filling and roll up.
- Brush with butter. Repeat. Place desired number of strudels on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon cheese and 1 teaspoon parsley. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
- To freeze and bake strudels: Individually wrap uncooked strudels in waxed paper and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
- Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the ham and cheese for even cooking and a better distribution of flavors.
- If the phyllo dough sheets are too dry, sprinkle them with a little water to make them more pliable and easier to work with.
- Don't overfill the strudel, or it will be difficult to fold and seal properly. Aim for a filling that is about 1-inch thick.
- Brush the strudel with melted butter before baking to give it a golden brown crust.
- Let the strudel cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
