Ingredients
Scale
- 600g (21.16 oz) puff pastry
- 300g (10.6 oz) cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
- 100g (3.5 oz) pressed cheese, grated
- 20g (0.7 oz) parsley, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 50g (1.76 oz) pressed cheese, grated (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, minced garlic, crumbled feta, grated pressed cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Roll the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle. Slice the pastry into strips (about 2 inches wide).
- Fill and Roll: Place a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each pastry strip. Roll them up tightly, sealing the edges to secure the filling.
- Brush with Egg: Brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish when baked.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the grated pressed cheese over the rolls before baking for an extra cheesy crust.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven!
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding spinach, olives, or roasted vegetables for a different flavor profile.
- For a bit of spice, consider adding some chili flakes or hot sauce to the cheese mixture.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen. Just bake them directly from the freezer for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the cheese and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
