PUFF PASTRY ROLLS with GORGONZOLA and Speck
Smart tips for perfect rolls
✨ Add a drizzle of honey on the speck before rolling: it enhances the gorgonzola and walnuts incredibly well.
✨ Use rectangular pastry: it rolls better and creates more regular rolls.
✨ Want a lighter version? Use lactose-free gorgonzola or replace it with robiola.
✨ For a more festive taste: add a pinch of nutmeg.
✨ Can they be prepared in advance? Sure! Cut them, place them in the freezer on a tray, and cook them directly from frozen.

FAQ PUFF PASTRY ROLLS with GORGONZOLA and Speck
Can I use another cheese instead of gorgonzola?
Yes! Try taleggio, stracchino, or brie: all perfect.
Can the puff pastry rolls with gorgonzola and speck be made the day before?
Better to bake them fresh, but you can prepare and keep them in the fridge raw for up to 8 hours.
Can they be frozen?
Sure! Both raw and cooked.
Can I replace the speck?
Prosciutto crudo, bacon, or even smoked salmon for a more chic version are all great.
Are they good with shortcrust pastry?
