Preparation of Zucchini and Cheese Puff Pastries
Preparing zucchini and cheese puff pastries is really simple and quick, first wash and trim the zucchini and slice it thinly.
Season the zucchini slices with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, add a little oil and mix to flavor them.
Preheat the oven to 350°F static mode and in the meantime soften the robiola or chosen cheese with a little extra virgin oil, salt, pepper, and mix well.
Unroll the puff pastry and divide it into 6 rectangles, prick the center of each rectangle with a fork and spread the cheese.
Place the zucchini slices over the cheese to cover the pastry, leaving the edges free.
Fold the edges with a slight pressure, brush with milk, and bake.
Bake the zucchini and cheese puff pastries on the middle rack of the oven for at least 20 minutes, checking the browning.
Take them out of the oven and serve immediately.
