Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed (about 8 x 8 inches)
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface into a 10 x 8-inch rectangle.
  3. Spread pesto evenly, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Layer mozzarella slices, sprinkle Parmesan, season lightly.
  4. Fold long edges toward center so they meet; fold one side over the other to form a log. Chill 10 minutes.
  5. Slice log into 1/2-inch pieces, place cut-side up on sheet. Brush with egg wash.
  6. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and puffed. Cool slightly before serving.
