Here’s a simple gluten-free meat and cheese roulade recipe that’s perfect for a quick, indulgent dinner, and works in both the oven or an air fryer:
Gluten-Free Meat & Cheese Roulade (Roulé Viande Fromage)
Ingredients (for 2–3 servings)
- 400 g ground beef, chicken, or turkey

- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 egg (to bind)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional herbs: parsley, thyme, or paprika
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions (Oven Version)
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Mix meat with onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and herbs in a bowl.
- Flatten the mixture on parchment paper into a rectangle (about 1 cm thick).
- Layer the cheese evenly over the meat.
- Roll it up tightly like a jelly roll. Seal edges gently.
- Transfer to a greased baking dish or oven tray. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and golden.
- Slice and serve with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Instructions (Air Fryer Version)

💡 Tips for a Gourmet Touch

- For a crisper exterior, brush lightly with olive oil before air-frying.
This recipe is fast, gluten-free, and family-friendly—perfect for a “gourmet-style” weeknight dinner without fuss.
If you want, I can make a one-pan version for the air fryer that reduces prep and cleanup even more. Do you want me to do that?
