Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry
- 3.5 oz sliced speck
- 3.5 oz provola
Steps
Draw a stocking on a piece of paper and cut it out.
Place it on the puff pastry so that you can fit 2, if needed add a piece of puff pastry, I did it at the tip, the pastry wasn’t wide enough.
Fill the stocking with “the patch” addition, with speck slices and provola pieces and cover with the other puff pastry stocking.
Seal the edges, make stars with the remaining puff pastry and place them on top.
Bake at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, until it turns golden.
Bon appétit

FAQ PUFF PASTRY STOCKING WITH SPECK AND PROVOLA
Can I use another cold cut instead of speck?
Yes, cooked ham, bacon, or sweet salami are also fine.
What cheese can be used instead of provola?
You can use mozzarella, processed cheese slice, or a spreadable cheese like Certosa or Stracchino.
Can the puff pastry stocking be cooked in an air fryer?
Absolutely yes! It obviously needs to be quite large otherwise it won’t fit, or make smaller stockings.
Can it be prepared in advance?
Certainly! But I recommend baking it shortly before, otherwise the puff pastry loses its crunchiness.
