Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cups Basil pesto
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your working surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are smooth and slightly thinner.
Spread an even layer of basil pesto onto one puff pastry sheet, leaving about a ½ inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pesto layer.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the first one, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry stack into 1-inch-wide strips.
Pick up each strip and gently twist the ends in opposite directions to create a spiral. Then tuck the twisted strip into a bow-like shape to form a 'tie.'
Place the shaped ties onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over each tie to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the ties are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flaky and flavorful Pesto Ties!
