Puff pastry rolls with cheese and speck, an easy and quick appetizer to prepare, also ideal for an informal dinner with friends.

In this case, I created a really simple recipe with what I bought in the morning, but instead of the classic savory pie, I prepared these delicious and tasty rolls. Below, I’ll leave you other ideas to make with puff pastry, while at the end of the recipe, after the photographic steps and the complete description, I’ll leave you some answers to the most common questions.

Tools

1 Knife
1 Baking tray
1 Parchment paper
1 Brush

Steps

To make the Puff Pastry Rolls with Cheese and Speck, first unroll the puff pastry sheet that has rested for 10 minutes out of the refrigerator, leaving it on its own paper. Spread the cheese slices on the base and then the speck slices, slightly overlapping them.
Roll the puff pastry tightly with the help of the parchment paper. Once the roll is formed, open the parchment paper and brush the surface of the roll with extra virgin olive oil. Garnish the surface with grated cheese. Cut the rolls with a sharp knife, about 1 inch thick.
Bake in the middle part of a convection oven at 374°F, preheated, for 20 minutes or until fully golden.
The Puff Pastry Rolls with Cheese and Speck can be cooked in advance and will be delicious when reheated later or as a cold appetizer. They can be stored for a few hours, even at room temperature once cooled.
