Simo and Cicci Recommend

You can store the puff pastry swirls for 2-3 days tightly sealed in an airtight container. You can also freeze them raw.

You can replace the ricotta with Philadelphia or other spreadable cheese for the filling.

You can make homemade pesto or replace it with arugula pesto, zucchini pesto, tomato pesto, or other homemade sauce.

For a vegetarian version, you can omit the cooked ham, or alternatively, you can replace it with slices of speck, salami, mortadella, or even smoked salmon.

For a gluten-free version, just use a gluten-free puff pastry roll.

For a lactose-free version, replace the ricotta with lactose-free ricotta, as well as the mozzarella.
