RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
If using a conventional oven, preheat to 220 degrees Celsius.
I like to bake the scrolls in a round cake tin that has been greased and lined with baking paper, preferably a springform tin.
You can use a flat baking tray that has been greased and lined with baking paper instead of a baking tin. Place the scrolls on the tray with a little room to spread, but don't leave too big a gap between them.
I highly recommend using baking paper, even in a non-stick baking tin, as the cheese melts during baking and can make the scrolls stick to the base of the tin.
You can experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese is lovely!
The scrolls can be stored in a refrigerated, airtight container for up to 2 days.
Alternatively, they can be frozen, in an airtight container, or resealable bags, for up to 3 months.
