Express snack featuring puff pastry
As I mentioned, my neighbor recently shared her reliable method for an exceptional snack where puff pastry takes center stage. When I discovered what it pairs well with and how creatively it can be served, I knew I had to test this recipe. And my intuition did not misguide me, I haven't tasted anything so delightful in a long time!
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry,
- 1/2 cup of tomato sauce,
- 16 ounces of mushrooms,
- 6 slices of large ham,
- 3/4 cup of yellow cheese,
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley,
- spices: oregano, salt, and pepper.
Preparation:
- Begin by cleaning the mushrooms and slicing them into thin pieces. Sauté them in a greased, heated pan for several minutes.
- While the mushrooms cook, grate the yellow cheese and chop the fresh parsley.
- In a separate bowl, combine the tomato sauce and spices. Blend the ingredients well to create the perfect flavor fusion.
- Spread the sheet of puff pastry on your kitchen counter. Directly on the dough, spread the sauce mixture. An ordinary spoon, knife, or kitchen brush can accomplish this task.
- Layer the slices of ham, sautéed mushrooms, yellow cheese, and parsley on top.
- Once all the ingredients are layered on the dough, begin rolling it into a log shape, and then slice it into smaller pieces. This process creates miniature spirals, which should be transferred to a baking tray.
- Bake the spirals for 20 minutes in a preheated oven set at 374 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoy the delicious result!
