Recipe FAQs

Can I substitute salami with other ingredients?

Yes, for a vegetarian alternative, you can replace salami with sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes.

What type of cheese works best in these scrolls?

Sharp cheddar is ideal, but Gruyère or Emmental can be used for a different flavor profile.

How do I ensure the pastry stays crisp after baking?

Bake the scrolls until golden brown and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispness.

Is it necessary to brush the pastry with egg before baking?

Brushing with beaten egg gives a glossy, golden finish but can be skipped if preferred.

Can I prepare the scrolls in advance?
