Delicious Zucchini Twists with Cheese and Ham

First, take the two small zucchinis and grate them using a grater. Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the grated zucchini to the pan and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes. This will help eliminate excess moisture from the zucchini.

While the zucchini cools, gently roll out the puff pastry on a clean surface. Ensure it’s not too thin.

Next, cut the sides of the pastry into strips, as seen in the video. This will create the twists later.

In the center of the pastry, layer a mixture of your grated cheese, chopped ham, and the cooled zucchini. Make sure to spread them evenly for balanced flavor in each bite.

Once assembled, proceed to twist the strips over the filling to form a braid, as demonstrated in the video.

Brush the braids with beaten egg yolk to give them a beautiful golden color as they bake. This step is essential for that enticing finish.

Place the prepared twists in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they become well browned.

Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These delicious zucchini twists are perfect as an appetizer or a snack. Enjoy your creation!
