→ Fundamentals
01 -
Paprika powder, as much as you like
02 -
Black pepper, to taste
03 -
Salt to suit your taste
04 -
1 egg for brushing the top
05 -
200 g shredded cheese (try cheddar, gouda, or emmental)
06 -
1 sheet of fresh puff pastry
07 -
500 g ground beef or your favorite ground meat instead
→ Extras if you feel like it
08 -
Chopped chilies or jalapeños for some heat
09 -
Diced onions
10 -
Finely chopped bell pepper
11 -
Chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley
# Steps:
01 -
Put the roll onto your baking tray and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the outside's crispy and has a deep golden color.
02 -
Whisk the egg and brush it all over the puff pastry roll. This'll make it come out shiny and golden.
03 -
Set your oven to 200 °C if you're using top and bottom heat, or 180 °C for fan ovens. Pop a sheet of baking paper onto the tray.
04 -
Carefully roll up the pastry with all the filling from one long side. Squeeze the ends so the filling stays put inside.
05 -
First sprinkle shredded cheese all over your pastry. Add the seasoned meat mix on top, but leave a 2 cm gap around the edges.
06 -
Take your puff pastry out and let it sit until it's not cold and stiff anymore.
07 -
Toss ground meat into a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and plenty of paprika. If you like, add herbs, diced peppers, onions, or a little chili too.
# Notes:
01 -
To go meat-free, swap in plant-based ground. Just follow the same steps.
02 -
Tossing in fresh herbs and crunchy veggies makes everything taste extra bright and fresh.
