Stuffed Wheels

To prepare a delicious pastry snack filled with cheese, zucchini, and bacon, we start by gathering the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have puff pastry, fresh cream cheese, green zucchinis, slices of smoked bacon, an egg for brushing, as well as spices to taste, such as salt, pepper, and herbs.

Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Then, carefully unfold the puff pastry on a clean surface dusted with a little flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the dough to obtain an even sheet, not too thin. Next, use a spatula or knife to spread the cream cheese over the entire surface of the dough, leaving about a 2-centimeter unbrushed edge.

Prepare the zucchini by washing it well and slicing it very thinly. It is important that the zucchini is cut evenly to bake evenly. Place the zucchini slices over the cream cheese, making sure to distribute them evenly so that each bite is full of flavor. After placing the zucchini, move on to the bacon. Cut the bacon slices into smaller pieces and place them on top of the zucchini to add extra flavor and texture.

Once you have arranged all the ingredients, start rolling the dough carefully, starting from one edge. The rolling should be tight but not so tight that you break the dough. After you have obtained a uniform roll, cut it into slices about 2-3 centimeters thick. Place the slices on the prepared baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave space between them as they will rise during baking.

Beat the egg in a small bowl and use a kitchen brush to brush each slice of dough, which will help achieve a golden and appetizing color. Once all the slices are brushed, place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the slices turn golden brown and crispy.

After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These puff pastry rolls with cheese, zucchini, and bacon are perfect as an appetizer or snack at a party, and the combination of flavors will surely impress everyone. Enjoy them warm for an unforgettable culinary experience!
