This recipe for savoury Parmigiano-Reggiano and pancetta pastry scrolls combines the rich umami flavour of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with the smoky taste of cured pancetta and sweetness of sweated onions rounded off with aromatic fresh thyme.
What an utterly delectable pastry that you can grab for breakfast, lunch or snack.
Ingredients:
For 10-11 pieces (approx. ø7cm)
1 sheet ready-made flaky pastry dough (ca. 25x35cm)
6 heaped tbsp. finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 egg yolk
8 slices pancetta
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. butter
Several twigs of fresh thyme
Salt, pepper to taste
What you’ll need:
Chopping board
Large kitchen knife
Tablespoon
Frying pan
Spatula
Grater
Clean and dry work surface for preparing the dough
Large, flat baking tray, lined with non-stick baking paper
Two small bowls or other containers, one to store the egg white, the other for keeping the egg yolk
Pastry brush
Method:
- Finely slice the onion and the pancetta. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan and, on low heat, lightly sweat the onion and pancetta pieces until the onion turns opaque in colour. Add a sprinkle of salt and a generous dash of black pepper. Take the pan off the heat and add fresh thyme to it (remove the greens from 3-4 twigs).
- Roll out the flaky pastry on a clean, dry work surface. The prepared dough won’t need any further flattening. Evenly distribute the onion and pancetta mixture on the dough and make sure to reach to the edges. Sprinkle 5 tbsp. of Parmigiano-Reggiano on the dough.
- Roll up the dough from the shorter side, which will produce approx. 10-11 pieces with a diameter of 7cm when baked. Carefully cut the dough with a large kitchen knife into pieces of 3cm thickness.
- Lay out the dough scrolls on a flat baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Leave a few centimetres space between each scroll to avoid them sticking together once they expand in the oven. Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan on the scrolls.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven, middle rack at 160°C (fan) or top rack on Gas mark 5 for 20-25 minutes altogether.
- Ten minutes into the baking process, glaze the half-baked pastries with egg yolk using a pastry brush.
- Remove pastries from the oven once they are golden brown. Serve immediately.
