Steps for Phyllo Dough Rolls with Stracchino, Tuna, and Spinach

  • To make these delicious phyllo dough rolls with stracchino, tuna, and spinach, you first need to prepare the filling. In a pan with a dash of olive oil and a garlic clove with skin, cook the previously cleaned and washed spinach. It will take about 10 minutes until they wilt. Turn off the heat and let them cool. In a bowl, add the stracchino, ground pepper, ground nutmeg, fine salt, and finally, the previously chopped spinach. Mix carefully and add the drained canned tuna, mixing until smooth and homogeneous.

  • Cut each sheet of phyllo dough into 4 parts, creating four strips. Brush the surface of the phyllo dough with an emulsion of olive oil and water.
    Place a tablespoon of filling on the lower part of the phyllo dough strip, fold the side edges, brush again with the emulsion, and roll up the phyllo dough roll to the end. Place the phyllo dough rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush the surface with the emulsion. Bake the rolls in a preheated static oven at 356°F to 374°F until golden, around 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve them.

  • And here they are, ready to be served on a cutting board or serving dish, the phyllo dough rolls with stracchino, tuna, and spinach. I hope you like this latest recipe of mine, until next time, friends.
