BACON WRAPPED HAM CHEESE ROULADE/ROLL

adapted from a Rachel Ray recipe, but i found the idea here...http://ifoundhappy.blogspot.com/2009/03/bacon-wrapped-chicken-with-cheddar-and.html

i used jack chz instead of cheddar, omitted the almonds and added a thin slice of ham. i'm thinkin' the almonds might have held the cheese in place better, because mine pretty much ran out...also i probably could have used more cheese

is this cute, or what?!...the 5 min. resting period was excruciating-ly long. i couldn't wait to slice into it. 2 definite musts are...center cut bacon (i used thick) and an instant read therm. it took abaout 20 min instead of the recommended 10 min.

this was definitly sooooo good, that i will try it again. so many variations could happen.
