Minced Beef and Cheese Spiral Scrolls
Savory minced beef and melted cheese are rolled into puff pastry, then sliced into spirals and baked until golden. The scroll shape gives every piece a good ratio of filling to pastry in each bite. These come together quickly and work equally well as a weeknight dinner or a shareable appetizer.
