Step 1:

How do you make pan-fried pork rolls with cheese? Start by gathering the ingredients. You can use any boneless cut of pork, but boneless loin is the easiest to work with. Pick a cheese you love — it's what gives the dish its main flavor.
Step 2:

Cut the meat into serving-size pieces and pound them thin on both sides with a meat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and spices. When salting, remember that the mayonnaise will add salt too — depending on how salty yours is, you may not need any extra.
Step 3:

In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, and minced garlic, then spread a thin layer of this sauce over the meat.
Step 4:

Cut the cheese into sticks, lay them along the edge of each piece of meat, and roll it up. Form all the rolls this way. If the pieces of meat are small, secure the rolls with toothpicks. Mine rolled up tightly, so I skipped the toothpicks.
Step 5:

Use a wide, roomy skillet for frying. Heat it until hot and add the vegetable oil. Lay the rolls seam side down and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Step 6:

Turn them evenly so they brown on every side. Then add a splash of hot water, cover, and let the rolls simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Step 7:

As they simmer, the cheese melts and some of it runs out into the pan. The rolls keep cooking in it and soak up its flavor and aroma. Transfer the finished pork rolls to a plate and serve. Enjoy!

The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so reach for a good, heavy skillet with plenty of room.
Homemade mayonnaise tastes better and is a little healthier. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt for the dressing — on their own or mixed with the mayonnaise in any ratio you like, which lightens up the dish.
You can make these rolls with any meat, not just pork. Just keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change — beef, for example, takes longer than pork, while chicken breast or turkey cooks faster.
