Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make puff snails with cheese and ham? Prepare food for them. Take the dough ready-made, it is usually sold in the form of two layers, you will need one layer. Or cut half off a long roll of dough like I did. Any ham will do, either already sliced or in a whole piece. It is better to choose cheese that melts well.

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. For this recipe, you can take sliced cheese, then you don’t need to grate it.

Step 3
Thaw the dough first. It is best to do this gradually, in the refrigerator compartment. With slow defrosting, the dough will completely restore its properties and become the same as before freezing. Sprinkle your work surface with flour and place the dough on it. Roll out the dough into a thin layer, about 3 mm thick.

Place slices of ham on top. You can overlap it if you like meat filling and cover the entire surface of the layer. Or spread out sparsely if you prefer cheese. Pre-slice the unsliced ham. You can also grate it on a coarse grater. In addition to ham and cheese, you can add chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, and any greens. You can grease the base with mayonnaise or ketchup, it will be juicier, but the calorie content will increase, keep this in mind.
