Tips & Variations

  • You can swap dried oregano for Italian seasoning or fresh chopped herbs for a different twist.

Storage

Store any leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until heated through and crisp.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Base

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Cheese and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Roll Out Puff Pastry and Brush with Butter: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a clean surface and evenly brush the melted unsalted butter over the entire sheet, which will help the garlic and cheese adhere and add rich flavor.
  3. Add Garlic and Cheese Toppings: Sprinkle the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly across the buttered pastry sheet, making sure every bite has a balance of flavors.
  4. Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into approximately 1-inch thick pieces to form individual rollups.
  5. Arrange and Apply Egg Wash: Place the rollups spaced out on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash to achieve a shiny, golden crust when baked.
  6. Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they puff up and develop a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the cheesy garlic butter rollups warm. They pair beautifully with marinara sauce or your favorite dip.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cheddar cheese with the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Serve with marinara sauce or garlic aioli for dipping to enhance the taste experience.
  • Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before working to prevent cracking and uneven baking.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
