Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 0.5 cup black olives (pitted and chopped)
- 0.5 cup roasted red peppers (chopped)
- 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases, ensuring it's about 10x12 inches in size.
Spread the chopped black olives evenly across the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along one long edge.
Add the roasted red peppers on top of the olives, distributing them evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the peppers, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Scatter the chopped parsley over the cheese for a fresh, herby flavor.
Starting from the long edge without the border, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Brush the border edge with a little water to seal the roll.
Chill the pastry log in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick spirals and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush each spiral lightly with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the spirals are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the Olive Pepper Spirals to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
