The best part of this twist on pigs-in-a-blanket isn't the roasted Brussels sprouts, buttery puff pastry or even the pleasantly salty prosciutto: it's the Parmesan cheese that is cleverly pressed into the dough while rolling and then sprinkled on top before baking. There's umami goodness throughout and toasty cheesiness all around.
For optimal results, ensure Brussels sprouts are roasted until truly tender and deeply golden; this develops their sweetness and prevents them from being too firm in the finished bite. It's crucial they cool completely before wrapping to avoid steaming the pastry. When working with puff pastry, keep it as cold as possible to maintain its flakiness; if it becomes too warm, chill it briefly. The Parmesan pressed into the dough is a key flavor layer, so don't skip sweeping up and pressing in all loose cheese. An even, thin layer of butter ensures uniform crisping and richness.
