Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed (about 8 x 8 inches)

  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

  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.
