Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 tablespoons black olive tapenade
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 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 flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
Spread the olive tapenade evenly over the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tapenade layer.
Starting from one long side of the rectangle, tightly roll the pastry inward toward the center. Repeat on the other side until both rolls meet in the middle, forming a 'double scroll' shape.
Wrap the rolled pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Once chilled, remove the pastry from the fridge and slice the roll crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.
Place the slices flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Brush each palmier lightly with the egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the palmiers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These savory snacks pair wonderfully with wine or as part of an appetizer spread.
