    Taste and Occasion

    You might know the sweet alternative, but have you ever had savory puff pastry roses? The puff pastry in muffin form, filled with cream cheese, zucchini, or ham, is made quickly. And an excellent snack for brunch. Especially if you want it to be easy and memorable simultaneously.

    The basic recipe for the savory puff pastry roses consists of only three ingredients: Puff pastry from the refrigerator shelf, herb cream cheese for coating, and zucchini or cooked ham as a splash of color or flavor. You don't need anything spectacular in terms of accessories either: a muffin tray and a wavy pastry wheel are all you need. You can even replace the latter with a regular sharp knife. I got the idea to bake savory rose muffins while preparing for Easter brunch in the covid year 2020. An exceptional situation. We celebrated with our children alone - and made it pleasant.

    The kids love the savory puff pastry roses. Ok, especially the ones with ham. The two (unfortunately) don't like anything that's green… So Jan and I have the puff pastry pieces with zucchini and cream cheese just for us.

    How to make the Puff Pastry Roses

    First of all, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Roll out puff pastry and cut it into 8 short strips, each with a wavy pastry wheel or a large sharp knife. Spread dough very thinly with cream cheese. Wash the zucchini and cut it into very thin slices. Cut it in half lengthwise beforehand if it is very large or thick. Place zucchini slices on top of the pastry corners in a roof tile fashion, slightly overlapping. They should protrude slightly at the top. Alternatively, spread thinly sliced ham on top of the dough.

    Profiteroles with Cream Cheese
    Savory Profiteroles

    Airy dough and fluffy cream: with a cream cheese filling, these savory profiteroles are excellent finger food for buffets! Plus, these little cream puffs are super pretty!

    Then, fold the bottom of the dough (where there is no zucchini/ham) up, creating a pocket. Roll up the strips to form roses. In the end, place roses in silicone cups and in a muffin tray and bake for about 20 minutes, depending on size and thickness, until golden. The roses can be frozen well. Enjoy!

    Top Tip

    In terms of filling, you can let off steam: Instead of refining the puff pastry roses with ham and cheese, puff pastry roses with salmon also taste good. The recipe is, as already mentioned, really simple. Only one step is difficult to describe; therefore, I have added pictures to the instructions for the savory puff pastry roses.
