Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle if needed.
In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash (egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one long side.
Starting from the opposite long side, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them flat on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels lightly with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Puffy Parmesan Pinwheels!
