What type of cheese works best in these scrolls?

Sharp cheddar cheese provides a bold flavor, but Gruyère or Emmental can be used for a milder, nutty taste.

Can I prepare these scrolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them and refrigerate for up to a few hours before baking to maintain freshness.

Brushing the pastry with beaten egg before baking helps achieve a glossy, golden finish and enhances flakiness.

Omit the salami and substitute with sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for a flavorful vegetarian option.

They are delicious served warm fresh from the oven, but also enjoyable at room temperature for convenient snacking.

Buttery, golden pastry scrolls filled with sharp cheddar and savory salami—perfect for parties or snacking.

I first served these at a family gathering and they disappeared instantly, everyone loved the sharp cheddar and savory salami combination.

Pastry: 1 sheet (250 g) puff pastry, thawed
Filling: 100 g sliced salami, 100 g sharp cheddar cheese, grated, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
For Brushing: 1 egg, beaten

Step 1:: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2:: Lay the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Brush evenly with Dijon mustard.
Step 3:: Evenly layer the sliced salami over the pastry, then sprinkle with grated cheddar.
Step 4:: Roll up the pastry tightly from one long edge to form a log.
Step 5:: Slice the log into 16 equal pieces. Arrange the scrolls, cut side up, on the prepared tray.
Step 6:: Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Step 7:: Bake for 16–18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Step 8:: Cool for 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

My family enjoys making these scrolls together; the kids love rolling the pastry and arranging the pieces.

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes before rolling. Vegetarian version: Omit salami and add sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes.
