Step by Step Guide to Minced Meat Cheese Puff Swirls
Ingredients
Let’s dive into the detailed steps to create these savory and cheesy puff pastry swirls:
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- Butter for greasing
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 300g minced meat (beef or chicken)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 100g grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking tray with butter.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a bit of oil until soft. Add the minced meat and cook until browned.
Season the meat with salt, pepper, and dried basil. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a flat surface. Evenly spread the cooked meat mixture over the pastry.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the meat, then roll the pastry up tightly into a log.
Slice the roll into even rounds, about 1 inch thick, and place them flat on the greased tray.
Top each slice with a bit more cheese, if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
