Instructions
For this delectable dish of Classic Sfoglie with Parmesan Cream and Speck Fillets, begin by preparing the Parmesan cream. (You can also follow this process via the link provided for more details.) Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Continue to cook the mixture, ensuring to stir regularly, until it thickens.
Once the cream reaches a thick yet smooth consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually add the finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese to the mixture, stirring it in bit by bit. The goal is for the cheese to incorporate fully, creating a luscious cream that, when scooped up with a spoon, will remain on the surface for a moment before settling down. The texture should be rich and creamy, neither too runny nor too stiff.
While the cream is cooling, take the thick slices of Speck and slice them into thin, delicate strips about a few millimeters thick. These fillets of speck will add a savory touch to your sfoglie.
Next, moisten two teaspoons with a bit of water to make it easier to scoop and shape the cream. With one spoon, carefully pick up a portion of the Parmesan cream, and with the other, gently shape it into a neat oval or round shape.
Now it’s time to assemble your dish! Place the creamy dollops on top of the sfoglie sheets, then top each one with a few fillets of speck. The balance of creamy, cheesy goodness and the smoky flavor of the speck will create an unforgettable appetizer.
Serve your Classic Sfoglie with Parmesan Cream and Speck Fillets immediately, or chill them briefly in the fridge to let the flavors meld together before serving at your next gathering.
