Savoury, crunchy and easy to prepare! Puff pastry rolls are the perfect snack and for all tastes, as these five simple fillings show.
One of the best ingredients to always have in stock in the fridge is puff pastry. Cost-effective, can be kept for several weeks and can be used in a variety of ways – what more could you ask for? When it comes to puff pastry treats, the majority will first think of sweet things such as puff pastry custard rolls or pudding pastries with peach. But savoury snacks, such as puff pastry and pesto sticks, are also impressive and are good companions for the swimming pool or a picnic in the park.
Just as important as the filling is the shape of the puff pastry. Whether it's braids, knots, pockets or just a pizza – whatever tastes good (and what your own craftsmanship allows) is allowed. The most practical to eat (and the fastest to prepare) are snails. Whether sweet or savoury - puff pastry rolls are handy and therefore the perfect snack for birthdays, parties or hikes. In other words, wherever you eat without plates and cutlery.
The filling options for savory puff pastry rolls are almost endless. Here are some delicious ideas, with few ingredients:

1. Vegetarian with spinach and feta
It is best to use fresh baby leaf spinach, as you don't have to fry or blanch it beforehand. To do this, unroll the puff pastry and top it with washed and dry spun baby spinach and crumbled feta. Roll up tightly, cut into slices and brush with egg. Sprinkle with pine nuts if desired and bake at 200 °C convection oven for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Italian trinity: tomato, mozzarella and basil
Thinly sliced tomato slices, grated mozzarella and fresh basil leaves are spread on the unrolled puff pastry and then rolled up and cut into snails. After baking, you get a caprese salad for which you don't need cutlery.

3. Hearty with onions and (vegan) minced meat
This hearty puff pastry roll is minimally more complex, as the minced meat must be seared and seasoned in a pan together with the diced onions before the mixture is added to the puff pastry. If that's not enough, you can create delicious "cheeseburger" snails with ketchup, mustard, sliced cheese and pickles. So hearty, so filling, so delicious.

4. Creamy and spicy with mushrooms and cream cheese
The sliced mushrooms are sautéed in a little olive oil before being mixed with cream cheese and seasoned. A nice addition to the vegetarian filling is finely chopped green onions or freshly chopped parsley. This variant is particularly juicy and offers a delicious mushroom flavor.
5. Spicy with paprika and chorizo
To do this, fry diced red peppers together with diced chorizo in a pan until they are lightly caramelized. Spread the filling over the puff pastry and add grated Manchego cheese and olive slices to taste. Inspired by Spanish cuisine, the combination of savory sausage and sweet paprika is simply irresistible.
Of course, you can combine a wide variety of ingredients and create your own creative fillings. It is perfectly permissible to let your imagination run wild and experiment with flavors and textures. Surely there are still some things at the back of your own fridge that have to go and make the tastiest hearty puff pastry roll.
