Ingredients You’ll Need
5 flour tortillas or pre-made pizza dough
4 tablespoons tomato sauce (tomate frito)
100g Deliart Mahon cheese, grated (melts beautifully!)
50g cooked York ham, diced
Salt & pepper, to taste
Dried oregano for extra flavor
Deliart Marcona almonds, crushed or whole – served on the side for a crunchy contrast
How to Make Pizza Cones
1. Form the Cones
Roll each tortilla into a cone shape and secure with foil or a toothpick. If using pizza dough, cut into triangle shapes and wrap around a metal mold or shape using foil. Seal the edges well.
Bake the empty cones at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
2. Layer the Filling
First, spoon tomato sauce into the bottom of each cone.
Add a layer of diced York ham, followed by a generous topping of grated Mahon cheese.
Sprinkle with dried oregano, either now or after baking, depending on your preference.
3. Bake to Melt the Cheese
Stand the filled cones upright in a muffin tray or foil rings.
Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
4. Serve
Garnish with fresh basil (optional) and serve warm. Accompany with Deliart Marcona almonds on the side for a crunchy, Mediterranean-inspired pairing.
Variations to Try
- Add protein: Pepperoni, ham, or shredded chicken.
- Make it spicy: Add a few chili flakes or spicy sausage.
- Vegetarian option: Add mushrooms, olives, or spinach.
- Sweet version: Use Nutella and strawberries in a dessert cone!
What to Serve with Pizza Cones
Pizza cones pair well with a fresh green salad, sparkling lemonade, or even a cold beer. They’re great as party starters, school lunch treats, or fun family dinner bites.
