The radicchio, speck, and fontina strudel is a rustic and flavorful savory preparation that can be made quickly: just have a ready-made roll of puff pastry, and the strudel will be ready to bake in no time. The recipe is very simple to make, but there is one thing to pay attention to: the radicchio should be well-drained after cooking, and the base of the puff pastry should be dusted with a little breadcrumbs. This is necessary to prevent the pastry from absorbing the moisture from the filling and having difficulty cooking or even breaking. And after the recommendations, let’s go to the kitchen to prepare this tasty radicchio, speck, and fontina strudel with an all-fall flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry
- 2 heads tardive radicchio
- 7 oz fontina
- 5 oz speck
- 1.8 oz red onion
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt
Tools
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Kitchen Knife
- 1 Low-edge Casserole
- 1 Reusable Parchment Paper
Steps
Wash the radicchio, dry it, and cut it into strips. Thinly slice the onion. In a low-edge casserole, heat the oil, let the onion flavor, then add the radicchio and cook for a few minutes until wilted but still firm. Season with salt and let cool. Dice the fontina. Unroll the puff pastry. If you have round puff pastry, try to roll it out a bit with a rolling pin until you get almost a rectangle. Sprinkle with a little breadcrumbs. Arrange the speck in whole slices or strips, leaving a distance of 3/4 inch from the edges, add the well-drained radicchio, diced fontina, and roll up the strudel sealing the sides well so it stays closed. Transfer it, seam side down, to a baking sheet lined with a reusable parchment paper sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for about 45 minutes. Once ready, let it cool a few minutes before slicing.
