Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (thawed)

  • 300g Minced Meat (Beef, Chicken, or Pork)

  • 100g Grated Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar)

  • 2 Hard-boiled Eggs (finely chopped)

  • 1 Medium Onion (finely chopped)

  • 1 bunch Fresh Parsley (chopped)

  • Seasoning: 1 tsp dried basil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  • Binding: 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Savory Filling: In a large skillet, melt a knob of butter and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the minced meat, browning it thoroughly. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil. Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the chopped boiled eggs and fresh parsley. Let the mixture cool slightly to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

  2. Assemble the Roll: Unroll the puff pastry onto a piece of parchment paper. Spread the meat mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a 2cm border at the edges. Generously sprinkle the grated cheese over the meat.

  3. Roll and Seal: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Pinch the ends to seal in the juices.

  4. The Golden Finish: Place the roll seam-side down on a baking tray. Brush the top thoroughly with the beaten egg wash. Use a sharp knife to score light diagonal vents across the top.

  5. Bake: Slide into a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.

Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the cheese stays perfectly set inside each decadent bite.
