Mini Egg Salad Sandwiches with Rhodes Multi-Grain Rolls |
![]() |
Cruising the Freezer Section
It was a lucky break, checking the frozen seafood section for lobster tails. Nope, no lobster tails, no hoped-for affordable lobster.
But right next door was a shelf of Rhodes frozen breads. My mother used to swear by Rhodes frozen bread loaves – a coup given that Mom was one of the world’s best bread bakers.
What caught my eye, however, was a tray of nine small multi-grain rolls. I walked through my mental gauntlet.
- Price? Check. The price was right, $2.29, just $.25 a roll.
- Ingredient list? Check. It starts off with stone-ground whole wheat flour and unbleached white flour. Sugar is the fourth ingredient (and the rolls do have a certain sweetness), but that’s followed by sunflower seeds, flax seeds and millet.
- Reasonable calories? Check.
- Convenience? Triple Check. Just throw the tray of still-frozen rolls into a hot oven. Twenty minutes later? Done. Hot rolls for dinner.
- Taste? Could frozen rolls taste good? I have to say, I think the taste and texture are excellent. There’s that slightly nutty edge that comes with whole-grain bread.
Sold!
Aren't they pretty? I love how you can actually see the sunflower seeds and flax seeds!
I’ve bought the rolls three times now and plan to keep a tray or two in the freezer all the time. They were a huge hit at my book club last week, stuffed with egg salad for three-bite but still-hearty sandwiches.

Alanna, what grocery store did you find these in? I'd love to stock up on some bread rolls for quick dinners- thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteNupur - I've found them at Schnucks, so easy to find!
ReplyDeleteI made the Rainbow Chicken (twice) in on week (so good) my question is, how could we make it in the slow cooker? I don't want the oven on in the summer...thanks Bonita
ReplyDeleteI think all my sisters buy those whole wheat Rhodes rolls, even the ones who often make homemade bread!
