Mini Croissants Appetizer (Mini Cornetti Salati)

 These mini croissants are an amazing tastefull appetizer. You can fill them with salmon, ham, cheese, or whatever you like, and decorate them in diffent ways. In this recipie I use salmon/mozzarella and Italian Speck/mozzarella filling with sesam and poppy seeds topping. Simply delicious...

Makes 16 mini Croissants

Ingredients:
1 package of round shaped fresh puff pastry (Pâte feuilleté)
2 slides of Italian Speck (can be replaced it with normal ham)
2 slides of Smoked Salmon
1 Mozzarella cheese (125 gr)
1 Wipped Egg for glazing

1 Tbs sesam seeds

1 Tbs of poppy seeds

Instructions:

Keep the puff pasty in the fridge for 30 min before using.

 

In the meanwhile pre-heat the oven at 170°C. Cut the Mozzarella cheese, speck and smoked salmon in small bites. Unwrap the puff pastry and roll it out on a surface. Devide it in 16 triangles. Make a small cut on base of each triangle (see photo). 

Fill and roll the triangles as shown in the photos.

 

Place the mini croissants on a baking tray (with baking paper). Glaze the mini croissant with the wipped egg using a small pastry brush, spinkle with the sesam or poppy seeds. Place in the pre-heated oven at 170°C for about 10 min.  

When the croissants are golden-brown take them out and let them cool. Serve warmish or cold.

Buon Appetito!
