Blue Cheese Palmiers

Blue Cheese Palmiers

Ingredients:

• 225g puff pastry, thawed
• 100g Danish Blue Cheese, finely crumbled
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• Toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

  Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF.
• Mix together the crumbled blue cheese and the Parmesan.  Divide in half, set aside.
• Roll out half of the thawed puff pastry to form 30cm x 20cm rectangle.
• Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
• Roll one side of the pastry half way, pressing down gently.  Repeat with the other side so that the two edges are side-by-side like two connected jelly rolls.
• Cut in half crosswise and wrap each half in plastic wrap.  Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes or place in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
• Repeat the above steps with the other half of the pastry and cheese mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Remove the pastries from the freezer.
• Slice the chilled roll into 1" slices.  Lay on the baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
