Perfect for any occasion, these rolls are ideal for both parties and a quiet family dinner. Plus, they are very easy to prepare!

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 12 rolls

Ingredients:

- 1/2 pack of pastry sheets (approximately 250g)
- 1 box of Ceva Fin Delaco cheese (approximately 200g)
- 1 box of smoked cow cheese (approximately 200g, recommended by Lidl from Pilos)
- 300g of sheep telemea cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 bag of grated cheese (approximately 200g, for gratin)
- 200ml of oil (for greasing the sheets)

Preparing the cheese rolls:

1. Preparing the cheese mixture
In a large bowl, using a high-speed mixer, beat the 3 eggs until frothy. Add the Ceva Fin Delaco cheese and mix until you obtain a smooth composition. Then, crush the smoked cow cheese with a fork and add it to the mixture. Finally, grate the sheep telemea cheese and incorporate it into the composition. Make sure all ingredients are well combined to achieve a homogeneous filling.

2. Preparing the muffin molds
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the muffin molds in a baking tray. These will give the rolls the desired shape and help them bake evenly.

3. Assembling the rolls
Divide the pastry sheets into 12 equal squares. Using a silicone brush, grease each square with oil. Place three pastry squares in each muffin mold, slightly overlapping them to create a crispy base.

4. Filling the rolls
After placing the sheets, add a teaspoon of the cheese mixture into each mold. Make sure each roll is filled evenly. For added flavor, sprinkle grated cheese on top of each roll.

5. Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the rolls bake for about 15 minutes or until the sheets turn golden and crispy. It is important to monitor them to avoid burning.

6. Serving
Once ready, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. I suggest taking them out of the muffin molds onto absorbent napkins to eliminate excess oil. These rolls pair wonderfully with a cold beer or freshly made tomato juice, and their flavor will be even more intense!

Helpful tips:

- Ingredient variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or feta cheese, to achieve diverse flavors. You can also add herbs or spices, like dill or oregano, for an extra flavor boost.
- Assembly technique: If you want your rolls to be even crispier, you can brush them with a mixture of oil and melted butter before baking.
- Storage: These rolls are delicious warm, but can also be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to regain their crispiness.
- Nutritional benefits: These rolls are a good source of protein due to the cheeses and eggs. Depending on the cheeses used, they also contain calcium, essential for bone health.
