    How to prepare courgette rolls: step by step instructions

    To prepare these delicious courgette rolls you need the ingredients listed above, an oven, and an hour of your time to prepare and cook them. Thanks to their fresh and delicate taste and the goodness of Scamorza cheese, your courgette rolls will be a success at any dinner host or party you throw.

    STEP 1

    Courgette rolls preparation

    Start by washing, cleaning and slicing the courgettes finely lengthwise (approx. 4 mm thick).

    STEP 2

    Mix salt, pepper and oil in a dish and dip every slice of courgette in it before coating them with breadcrumbs and plenty of grated Grana Padano PDO. The breading is important if you want crispy oven baked courgette rolls!

    STEP 3

    Now, place the breaded courgette slices on a baking tray covered in parchment paper and cook in the oven at 180 °C for 20 minutes, or until golden. Even if the rolls will have to go in the oven again, cooking the courgettes in the oven first is a great trick to make sure the courgette rolls become nice and crispy.

    STEP 4

    Preparing the filling for the courgette rolls

    It’s time to make the courgette rolls. Place a strip of ham on each slice of courgette, then add a few slices of Scamorza, and gently roll the courgette. To secure the rolled courgette rolls you can pierce them from side to side with a toothpick to prevent them from opening and losing their filling.

    STEP 5

    Cooking the courgette rolls

    Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the courgette rolls, then bake in the oven at 200 °C for approximately 10 minutes. You’ll know your courgette rolls are ready when they turn golden an the cheese inside has melted.

    STEP 6

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool off for a few minutes so they are not too hot. Your courgette rolls are delicious served either warm or cold.
