- For a spicy twist, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese before rolling.
- Make sure your puff pastry is well chilled before using for easier handling and better puffing.
Storage
Store any leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes to regain their crispiness. These rollups are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen before baking for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
