Steps
The zucchini puff pastry rolls are super easy and quick to prepare. First, clean the zucchini and slice it very thinly using a mandoline (you can cut it with a knife if you prefer) and salt them.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 3 equal parts vertically.
Spread some cream cheese along the edge of each pastry strip, add a few zucchini slices (I used 4), the grated scamorza cheese, more zucchini slices (again 4 slices), and roll each strip to form long baguettes, placing the seam side down.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and cut them into pieces about 3/4 inch (2 cm) wide.
Place the zucchini puff pastry rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
Notes:
The zucchini puff pastry rolls can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can replace the cream cheese with another creamy cheese of your choice (robiola, ricotta, gorgonzola) and the scamorza cheese with other melting cheeses (well-drained mozzarella, provola). I made them in a vegetarian version, but if you want, you can replace the second layer of zucchini with cooked ham or speck.
