The Bolivian Rollo de Queso is a delightful snack of a light fluffy cheese filling rolled up inside a deliciously rich and slightly crumbly crust. Glazed with an egg wash spiked with aji chili pepper, it was a mainstay for our midafternoon snacks. —Eric Villegas, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix flour with baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together sugar, salt, egg yolks and shortening until well blended. Add warm milk to the bowl slowly along with flour, combining to make a soft dough. Divide dough in 2 and let cool for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff. Add cheese; mix and set aside.
  3. Roll out 1 portion of dough into a 12x8-in. rectangle on top of parchment. Spread half the egg whites and cheese in the center. Fold 1 end of dough to the middle, starting with a short side; fold the other end on top. Repeat with the remaining dough and egg-cheese mix.
  4. For the glaze, mix the egg yolk, aji and salt together with a bit of water. Brush both rolls with glaze and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
