Equipment

  • 1 large metal sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 pasty brush
  • 1 rubber spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 4 tbsp water
  • ⅓ cup fresh mozzarella sliced
  • ⅓ cup capicola sliced
  • 20 sheets phyllo dough (or half a 16 oz package), defrosted
  • 1 tsbp unsalted butter melted
  • Everything But the Bagel Seasoning for topping

Instructions

  • Take your frozen phyllo dough and let it sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours until room temperature. To start, make the tomato jam. Add the quartered tomatoes to the saucepan with the sugar, water and vinegar. Heat the saucepan on medium heat, and stir occasionally for about 6-7 minutes. The tomatoes will release their juices and bubble slightly. Once the tomatoes are soft, smash them with your spatula. Keep heating until the moisture has reduced by ⅔rds and the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, ½ tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp white vinegar, 4 tbsp water
  • Prepare the phyllo. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Carefully unroll the phyllo and use your fingers to peel 2 thin sheets of the dough and place them on your working surface. Once the tomato mixture is cool, place a small spoonful of the jam on one end of the dough (about one inch away from the border of one vertical end). Use your spatula to smear the jam out a little bit but don't get too close to any edges.
    ⅓ cup capicola, 20 sheets phyllo dough, ⅓ cup fresh mozzarella
  • Add a small slice of mozzarella on top of the jam followed by some capicola. Then gently fold in both long sides of the phyllo dough (about 1 ½ inches on both sides). Then fold over the tail end inch of dough over the toppings you just laid down.
    Then carefully fold the whole roll until you get to the other end. Carefully transfer the roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until you use all of your filling.

  • Then brush each phyllo roll with melted butter and sprinkle on the bagel seasoning if you wish. Place the rolls in the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until golden and crispy. Wait about 5 minutes to let them cool and serve hot while the cheese is gooey!
