Savory Palmiers

Puff pastry palmiers with parmesan and pesto, baked to perfection.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 38 minutes
Servings: 12 palmiers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 large egg beaten

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Spread the pesto evenly over the puff pastry and sprinkle with the parmesan.
  3. Roll both long edges of the pastry inward to meet in the middle, then chill for 10 minutes.
  4. Slice the log into 1/2-inch pieces and place on the pan, brushing the tops with beaten egg.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden, then cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Chilling the rolled pastry makes it much easier to slice cleanly.
