Why this puff pastry roll is so good
Puff pastry gives a light, crispy and golden surface that goes perfectly with a rich minced meat filling. When the minced meat is seasoned with garlic, onion, oregano and paprika, it gets a round and tasty base.
The cheese melts into the filling and makes the roll extra juicy. The egg on top adds beautiful color and makes the puff pastry look shiny and appetizing when it comes out of the oven.
