The Rustico Leccese is a finger food loved and appreciated in Salento. I am a hard crispy golden pastry enclosing a soft filling of sauce, tomato and mozzarella! Really unique! #cucinapugliese
preparation
step 1
First made the sauce: Heat the milk, speziandolo with pepper and nutmeg, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, add the flour and stir quickly.

Stir quickly with a spiral whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

When the flour is completely mixed, add the hot milk, add salt and, stirring constantly, let thicken the whole.

With a pastry cutter cut out from the sheet 16 circles with a diameter of 10 cm and 8 smaller circles of 8 cm diameter.
step 6
Place 8 large circles on a baking tray covered with baking paper, lay the diced mozzarella on the edge of the disks in such a way as to create a barrier.
