Today, I’m excited to introduce a sophisticated twist on a classic favorite — frittata rolls with smoked salmon, crescenza cheese, and rocket. This dish combines the fluffy, airy texture of a traditional frittata with the elegance of rolled presentation, making it perfect for brunch, brunch buffets, or a light dinner.

Originating from Italy, the frittata is a versatile and beloved egg-based dish similar to a quiche but without the crust. In this recipe, we elevate it by incorporating rich crescenza cheese — a soft, creamy Italian cheese similar to a mild mascarpone — which adds smoothness and depth to the filling. 

The smoky, delicate flavor of smoked salmon pairs beautifully with the peppery bite of fresh rocket (arugula), creating a harmonious blend of flavors. 

Rolled into a compact, portable form, these frittata rolls are not only visually appealing but also wonderfully easy to serve and eat. Whether you’re preparing a light meal or impressing guests at a gathering, this recipe offers a perfect balance of richness, freshness, and elegance. Let’s get started!
