The history of the pâté roll is fascinating, with roots in culinary traditions that emphasize the use of simple yet tasty ingredients. It reflects the talent of transforming basic ingredients into sophisticated dishes that bring people together around the table.

Let’s get to work!

Ingredients:
- 1 can of pâté (approx. 200 g)
- 50 g margarine (or butter, if you prefer)
- 200 g grated cheese
- 1 can of milk core (approx. 400 g)
- 2-3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, washed and finely chopped
- 3 eggs (boiled)
- Salt, to taste
- 130 g butter (for a richer taste, you can use butter instead of margarine)
- Oil (to grease the aluminum foil)

Preparation time: 1 hour
Baking time: 0 minutes
Total time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 4-6

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by grating the cheese using a large grater. This is the main ingredient that will give the roll a creamy consistency and a rich taste. Make sure it is well chilled for easier grating. You can use aged cheese, which will add an intense note to the dish.

2. Mixing the composition
In a large bowl, add the grated cheese, then pour in the melted butter and a pinch of salt, to taste. Mix the composition well until the ingredients are evenly integrated. It’s important to mix gently so that the cheese doesn’t compact.

3. Adding the milk core and parsley
Cut the milk core into small pieces and add it to the bowl, along with the finely chopped fresh parsley. The milk core will bring a pleasant texture and a sweet aroma, while the parsley will provide a fresh contrast. Mix again to ensure all ingredients are well distributed.

4. Preparing the aluminum foil
Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the roll. Grease it with oil on both sides so that the roll doesn’t stick. This is a simple yet effective technique – you don’t want to deal with a roll stuck to the foil!

5. Forming the roll
Using a spoon, spread the cheese composition evenly on the aluminum foil, leaving a small space at the edges to facilitate rolling. This is the stage where you can add a touch of creativity – you can sprinkle some spices or herbs for extra flavor.

6. Preparing the pâté
In another bowl, mix the pâté with the margarine (or butter) at room temperature. This will add a special creaminess to the roll and make it more flavorful. Make sure the mixture is homogeneous before pouring it over the cheese composition.

7. Adding the boiled eggs
Boil the eggs until they are medium-boiled (about 6-8 minutes). If you prefer softer eggs, you can reduce the boiling time. Cut the eggs into quarters and arrange them evenly over the pâté composition.

8. Rolling
Start rolling carefully, gently tightening each side of the foil to form a compact roll. Make sure not to damage the composition during rolling. Once you have a nice shape, wrap the roll in foil and ensure it is well sealed.

9. Cooling
Place the roll in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This will help the ingredients blend perfectly and will make it easier to slice into beautiful pieces.

10. Serving
After it has cooled, unwrap the aluminum foil and slice the roll into pieces about 1-2 cm thick. You can serve it on a nice platter, alongside some toasted bread or crackers. A delicious alternative is to serve it with a fresh salad or a yogurt and dill sauce – a combination that will surely impress your guests.

Practical tips:
- You can replace the parsley with dill or basil, to adapt the recipe according to your preferences.
- Instead of pâté, you can use cottage cheese for a lighter and healthier option.
- If you want a spicier note, add some chopped chili pepper or spicy seasoning to the cheese mixture.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of cheese instead of cheese?
Yes, you can experiment with feta cheese, goat cheese, or even mozzarella, depending on your preferences.

2. How long can the roll be kept in the refrigerator?
The roll keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is best consumed within the first 24 hours.

3. Can I freeze the roll?
It is recommended not to freeze it, as the composition may change upon thawing.
