Recipe Help

What type of cheese works best in these scrolls?

Sharp cheddar provides a rich, tangy flavor that complements the salami, but Gruyère or Emmental can be used for a milder taste.

How can I add a spicy twist?

Sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes over the filling before rolling to introduce a subtle heat.

Are there vegetarian alternatives to salami in this dish?
