    Meat lovers OR Vegetarian versions

    Looking for some March Madness munchies? Even without a tournament happening, we still get in the mood for game time food, very much like football season, and Stromboli works whether the ball goes through the hoop or the goal posts.  

    I’m also happy to say that this is my 150th post! Time really does fly! So I’m glad to be bringing one of my favorites at this milestone.

    How to make Stromboli - meat version

    Traditionally, Stromboli is made with cheeses and cold cuts wrapped in dough. The dough can be pizza dough, but I really like using puff pastry and the basic recipe found at pepperidgefarm.com is my starting point. That recipe calls for just ham and cheddar cheese, but long ago I starting mixing and matching deli meats to get more variety. Since The Carnivore loves his salami, I always make his with ham and salami and usually provolone cheese.

    To make it, simply roll out the thawed puff pastry to a nice rectangle shape, about 16 x 12. Then, layer the cheese and meats.

    rolling up the puff pastry

    Roll up the pastry from the short end and place the roll seam side down on a baking sheet.

    Then, brush the roll all over with an egg wash and bake.

    That egg wash gives a beautiful golden finish to your pastry.

    Allow it to cool, then slice and serve.

    How to make Vegetarian Stromboli with puff pastry

    Not a carnivore? How about Vegetarian Stromboli? There are so many possible combinations of veggies for this! For me, the key is always lots of cheese. In a vegetarian version I start with whipped cream cheese, add the veggies and then add another layer of cheese.

    For this version I’m using kale and tomatoes. I pre-treat the tomatoes by slicing them thin and sprinkling with salt. The salt will draw a lot of moisture out of the tomatoes, which the paper towel will absorb. Those sit on paper towels while I do my other prep.

    The kale is torn into small pieces and massaged.

    Assembly is similar to the meat version. Just start with the cream cheese, layer the veggies, then more cheese.

    Roll up, seal and bake.
