Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers are perfect bites to serve over joyous holidays. However, in my humble opinion, these are divine perfection all year round. Sometimes, instead of these rather gourmet crackers, I would serve it with toasted bruschetta. It is just so fancy, yet read more
Stuffed with seasoned ground beef and onions, these flaky phyllo rolls are a protein-rich treat you can enjoy as a meal, snack, or party appetizer.
My whole family loves them just as much as I do—and honestly, anyone who loves pastry, beef, and finger foods will, too!
You could call these mini börek rolls, but I’m sticking with stuffed beef phyllo rolls because, well, that tells you exactly what they are.
For the best experience, add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream—trust me on this one. And for the love of God, do not dip these in ketchup. My kids do it, and I’m still recovering from the shock, haha.
If you ever go anywhere in the Balkans or eat with a person from Balkan countries and pull out ketchup for these, I guarantee you’ll get the look. Jokes aside, I just think they taste way better with yogurt, sour cream, or even cottage cheese.
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. You don’t need a long list of ingredients—just the essentials: ground beef, onion, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, parsley, and a pinch of cayenne for a little kick (optional but highly recommended.
A little butter and sesame seeds add the perfect finishing touch, along with, of course, phyllo dough. Chances are, you already have most of these in your pantry or fridge.
If beef isn’t your thing, feel free to swap it for ground chicken, turkey, or even lamb. You can also throw in your favorite dried herbs or seasonings to make it your own.
These rolls are crispy, flavorful, and ridiculously easy to make. So, who’s giving them a try? Let me know!
Unbaked Rolls (Best Method)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place frozen rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Let the baked rolls cool completely.
Store in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, layering with parchment paper.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
Oven (Best Method): Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
Air Fryer: Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
Microwave (Least Crispy): Heat in 30-second bursts until warm.
These rolls are perfect for meal prepping because they’re easy to assemble, store, and reheat! Here’s how to make a big batch without hassle:
Since phyllo dough comes in large packs, it’s easy to make more at once. Just double or triple the filling, and you’ll have plenty of rolls ready to go for future meals or snacks.
Freeze the rolls in small batches (4–6 per bag) so you can take out only what you need instead of defrosting all at once.
If you want to switch things up, here are some delicious filling ideas while keeping the crispy, flaky phyllo goodness:
Filling: Feta cheese, ricotta, spinach (sautéed & squeezed dry), egg, garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Tip: This is similar to Greek spanakopita!
Filling: Ground chicken, finely chopped mushrooms, onion, garlic, black pepper, and a touch of cream cheese for extra creaminess.
Tip: Add thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
Filling: Ground lamb, onion, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh mint or parsley.
Tip: Serve with tzatziki sauce for a refreshing contrast.
Filling: Ground turkey, dried cranberries, sautéed onion, garlic, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Tip: Add a little rosemary or sage for that holiday vibe!
Filling: Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, garlic, chickpeas (mashed), and cumin.
Tip: Brush with olive oil instead of butter for a vegan-friendly option. You can also use vegan butter.
Filling: Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or sausage, shredded cheese, and chives.
Tip: Serve with sour cream or hot sauce for an easy breakfast wrap!

I love Bagel Salmon Sandwiches, mini or not. But anything mini just looks way more appealing. I already made something so very similar for my blog before, but I thought to update the recipe with a new post and fresh images.
Well, my top 4 choices are cream cheese, whipped cottage cheese, goat cheese, and mascarpone cheese. However, I should point out that cream cheese is the most common, though.
That being said, you can most definitely substitute something else in place of a bagel, which is absurd to even discuss given the change, but let me give you some other suggestions. I may recommend well-toasted ciabatta bread or English muffins.
These two are pretty different than bagels, but if you don’t have a bagel and want this sandwich, then use any other bread with those two being top picks.
Now, if you are on low carb and don’t eat bagels, well, I got you back. I made these mini Keto buns, which are fantastic if you are following a low-carb diet.
I actually made these for my book club ladies in the neighborhood a while ago. They loved it, so I thought to share it here too because they looked so pretty.
Let us move on to the recipe, which I am sure many love. These are super easy to make at home.
I truly love getting wild-caught smoked salmon, which is also the best for you, and most of the time mini bagels because I love mini foods.
