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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
