FILLO PASTRY ROLLS with Bacon and Provola
Useful tips:
Lightly brush the fillo pastry with oil or melted butter so it doesn’t dry out and becomes golden.
Don’t overdo the filling: too much provola may ooze out during cooking.
Seal the edges well and place them seam-side down. In an air fryer, just a few minutes are enough, in a conventional oven monitor the browning.
