Good to know

Chef's tip

To keep the pastry from getting soggy, always let the onions cool before spreading them over the puff pastry. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of cheese before the onions to create a moisture barrier 🧀🔥

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good. Freeze baked for up to 2 months in airtight bags or containers. Can also be frozen raw; bake without thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days at most in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the filling and assemble the rolls the day before. Bake just before eating. Keep refrigerated.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 10-15 min at 160-180°C. Air fryer: 5-8 min at 160°C. Microwave: 30-60 sec at medium power (softens the pastry).

Variations

Use Swiss cheese or mozzarella.
Brush with egg yolk.
Cut 3 to 4 cm sections.

Mistakes to avoid

Filling with hot onions: spread them once cooled.
Rolling loosely: roll tightly.
Cutting too thin: 3 to 4 cm sections.
