Notes
Tip from my kitchen: the thinner you shave the zucchini strips, the prettier and more evenly the roses roll up. Spread the cream cheese only thinly, otherwise the puff pastry gets too moist. If you set the roses slightly staggered in the muffin tin, they hold their shape as they rise – and come out of the oven looking like little blossoms.
