Steps to Make Savory Stuffed Zeppole
A tasty and simple appetizer, perfect for Father’s Day.
To make the savory stuffed zeppole, first you need to prepare the choux pastry following my recipe carefully.
Then proceed by following the instructions for baking in the oven.
Once your baked zeppole are ready and have cooled, it’s time to fill them.
Cut each zeppole in half horizontally, place a piece of pre-washed and dried lettuce leaf, the prosciutto, and finally, spread the stracchino.
Close with the top half and fill the hollow part on top with a swirl of mayonnaise and half an olive (I used green olives with pepper, but you can also use black ones).Done, the work is finished! Your savory zeppole are ready to be enjoyed.
Simple, right? Enjoy your meal and happy Father’s Day.
