Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and minced scallion. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
3
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with a corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape. Place approximately 3 rounded tablespoons of the ham mixture in the center of the wrapper, ensuring there is about a 1/2 inch space at the bottom and top.

Start folding by bringing the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly to secure the filling. Finish by folding the top corner down, sealing the edges with a small amount of water to ensure they stay closed. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5
Arrange the filled egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the rolls with cooking spray to encourage browning.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
