1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

Stir in 2 cups (500 mL) of the cheese until melted. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
In skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining butter; sauté mushrooms and onion until liquid is evaporated, about 7 minutes. Add broccoli and red peppers; sauté until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese sauce. (Make-ahead: Place plastic wrap directly on surface of vegetable filling and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; increase baking time to 25 minutes.)
For each roll, place omelette on work surface; cover with 1 slice of the ham. Spoon one-eighth of the vegetable filling along centre; roll up and place, seam side down, in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) gla3/4 baking dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce over omelette rolls. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and paprika.
Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until bubbly and top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Additional Information
- Old Cheddar, Asiago and Monterey Jack cheese are fine substitutes for Swiss. You can replace the broccoli, peppers and mushrooms with lightly steamed asparagus (about 4 spears per roll).
