Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed per directions on the package
- 7.5 ounces whipped chive cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- Splash of water
- Thinly sliced fresh chives for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a clean work surface dusted with a small amount of flour. Roll out the pastry until it is 14x10. Spread the cream cheese over the surface leaving about 1 inch bare along with one of the long edges farthest from you. Sprinkle the parmesan on top. Tightly roll the long edge nearest you toward the opposite edge. Pinch the seam closed.
- Place the log on the prepared sheet tray. Using a kitchen knife or clean scissors is easiest, cut slits down the log about every inch ¾ of the way through, make sure the bottom of the log stays intact.
- Starting at the top of the log, pull the cut pieces into points opposite each other all the way down. Refer to step by step photos for reference. Do this all the way down the log.
- Place the egg in a small bowl with a splash of water, whisk to combine. Brush the log with the egg wash. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly and serve with more chives for garnish, optional.
