Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry and Filling
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For Assembly and Garnish
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets gently and cut them into rectangles or squares of your preferred size.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese over each cut piece, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the roll-ups.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll each pastry piece up and pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese inside. Place each roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the roll-ups with the beaten egg to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked. Optionally, sprinkle with garlic powder for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling for easy handling.
- You can swap or add other cheeses like Parmesan or Gruyere for different flavors.
- For a crispier crust, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven but can be reheated.
- Adding garlic powder is optional but enhances the flavor nicely.
