Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 10.58 oz of Puff Pastry, frozen (300 g)
  • 1 unit of Egg
  • 4.59 oz of Mozzarella, grated (130 g)
  • Parsley to taste
  • 1 tbsp of Parmesan, grated 0.35 oz (10 g)

Instructions

  • Allow the pastry to thaw following the package instructions
  • Unroll the puff pastry delicately
  • Cut the pastry in half
  • Whisk the egg with a fork and brush it over the entire pastry
  • Place the grated mozzarella only on one half and sprinkle chopped parsley on top
  • Fold the pastry in half and press it a bit. If you want, roll it with a rolling pin to the cheese and parsley stick together
  • Brush more beaten egg on top and finish with the grated Parmesan
  • Make cuts with a sharp knife. I cut in half, then in half again, and after in half again, repeating the same on the other side
  • To avoid very long sticks, I made a cut in half lengthwise, so they yielded 16 pieces of puff pastry
  • If the pastry is soft like mine, cover and freeze for 15 minutes to make it easier
  • With firmer pastry, twist each piece
  • Distribute on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (446°F) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown

Notes

Tips:
– Valid to: consume immediately, as reheating later is not recommended for puff pastry with cheese.
