Cheese & Bacon Dan Bing Roll
Cheese & Bacon Dan Bing Roll
Classic DishDan Bing
Prep: 12 min • Cook: 10 min. A crowd-pleasing Taiwanese street-food variation: a thin, crepe-like dan bing filled with melting processed cheese and crisped bacon, rolled tight for an indulgent grab-and-go breakfast. Bright scallions add freshness while a light brush of sweet soy or chili sauce provides a contrasting sweet-spicy finish. Quick to make at home, these rolls are golden, slightly chewy, and wonderfully gooey when sliced.

Instructions
Prepare
- 1Slice bacon into thin strips and pat dry with paper towel; set aside.
- 2In a bowl, whisk together flour, warm water, beaten eggs, salt, and sugar until a smooth, thin batter forms. Stir in sliced scallions.
- 3Place processed cheese slices and any sauces within reach for quick assembly during cooking.
Cook
- 1Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon oil; spread to coat.
- 2Pour about 1/3 cup (80–3 3/8 fl oz) batter into the pan and quickly tilt to spread into a thin, round crepe about 6–8 inches wide.
- 3Cook batter until edges lift and underside is lightly golden, about 1–2 minutes.
- 4Lay bacon strips across the crepe, then top with cheese slices and a little extra scallion. Fold or flip one side of the crepe over to cover filling.
- 5Press gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese melts; add a little more oil if pan is dry.
Assemble & serve
- 1Remove crepe from pan, roll tightly from one edge into a compact roll, seam side down to hold shape.
- 2Brush lightly with sweet soy or chili sauce for contrast, slice in half on the diagonal to reveal gooey cheese.
- 3Serve immediately while warm as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Repeat with remaining batter and filling.

Tips
- Thinly slice scallions and bacon ahead to speed assembly and keep the cooking process continuous.
- Use medium heat to melt cheese without burning the crepe; add oil sparingly to prevent sticking.
- Brush rolls with a little sweet soy or chili sauce right before serving for a glossy, flavorful finish.
