These crispy diploma puff pastry rolls feature flaky, buttery layers paired with a seasoned savory meat filling, making them a quick and satisfying comfort food perfect for busy nights or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 pound ground meat (mix of beef and pork recommended)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground meat to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine well.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley. Let the filling cool completely to prevent soggy pastry.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold one sheet of puff pastry. If stiff, use a rolling pin to smooth it out to about 12×9 inches.
  7. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 equal strips lengthwise. Repeat with the second sheet to have 6 strips total.
  8. Spoon a generous tablespoon of cooled meat filling along one edge of each pastry strip, leaving about 1/2 inch border on the sides.
  9. Roll the pastry over the filling tightly, tucking in edges and pinching the seam to seal securely.
  10. Place rolls seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  11. Brush each roll with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the meat filling cool completely before rolling to prevent soggy pastry. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning meat to ensure proper caramelization. Chill assembled rolls briefly before baking if kitchen is warm to maintain shape and prevent leaking. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean pastry cuts. If filling is wet, add breadcrumbs or an egg to bind better.
