Mini Zucchini Rolls with IKAY Yellow Cheese and Sausage

Appetizing, juicy, and aromatic – these mini rolls are the perfect treat for guests, a picnic, or a quick dinner.

Ingredients:

2 medium-sized zucchini

100 g yellow cheese 

100 g deli meat of your choice (cured pork loin, ham, or salami)

1 egg

2 tbsp flour

1 tbsp breadcrumbs 

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil (for brushing/coating)

Instructions:

Preparing the zucchini:

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer. Lightly salt them and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften, then pat them dry.

Preparing the batter:

In a bowl, whisk the egg, then add the flour and a pinch of salt to create a thick batter (similar to pancake batter).

Assembling the rolls:

Place a small piece of yellow cheese and a thin slice of deli meat onto each zucchini strip. Carefully roll them up.

Coating:

Dip each roll into the egg batter, then (optionally) roll it in breadcrumbs.

Baking or frying:

In the oven: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with oil, and bake at 200°C for about 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

In a pan: Heat a little oil and fry the rolls on all sides until a delicious, crispy crust forms. Serving:

Serve warm with IKAY yogurt, garlic sauce, or a tomato dip.

A tip from the IKAY Dairy:

Use IKAY-Vitosha firm yellow cheese; it melts evenly while retaining its shape inside the rolls—ensuring the perfect balance of juiciness and crunch.
