Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the 20 garlic cloves and place them on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and wrap them tightly in the foil.
Roast the garlic bundle in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
While the garlic roasts, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets if necessary to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares, yielding 18 total.
Once the roasted garlic is cool, mash the cloves into a paste using a fork.
To assemble the puffs, spoon a small amount of the garlic paste (roughly 1/2 teaspoon) into the center of each pastry square. Top with a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese.
Fold the corners of each square toward the center and pinch them together to seal, forming a small pouch. Place each filled pastry seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the puffs.
Sprinkle the puffs lightly with the remaining Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or snack!
