One of the most popular seafood dishes, squid is known for its delicate texture and mild flavour, which goes perfectly with a variety of fillings. Their versatility allows them to be prepared in a variety of ways - fried, boiled, grilled or baked. This time, we will focus on stuffed squid, which will be baked in the oven, filled with ham and cheese. This combination brings a pleasant balance of flavours - the mild taste of the squid, the saltiness of the ham and the creaminess of the cheese.
Ham and cheese is a classic combination that delights time and time again. The ham adds saltiness and meatiness to the dish, while the cheese brings a rich and creamy flavour that blends beautifully with the tender flesh of the squid. Different types of cheese can be used for this recipe, depending on personal preference. Excellent choices are mozzarella, which melts and drags beautifully, and Parmesan, which adds a tangy flavour to the dish. If you want to spice up the dish, you can also use mould cheese or smoked cheese, which will add a special character to the squid.
This dish is ideal for special occasions or as part of a formal lunch. It can be served with a side dish of your choice - potato salad with mayonnaise, a refreshing Greek salad or a simple pasta salad.
Stuffed squid with ham and cheese is sure to delight your guests and provide a real gourmet experience.
