Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- All-purpose flour for rolling
Cheese Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Roll out the pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick, making it ready to hold the filling evenly.
- Prepare garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt to create a flavorful butter spread.
- Brush the pastry: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture all over the surface of the puff pastry for rich garlic flavor.
- Add cheese topping: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the buttered pastry to create the cheesy filling.
- Roll and slice: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the pastry into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices to form individual rollups.
- Arrange and finish: Place the rollups cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush any remaining garlic butter on top of the rollups for extra flavor and golden color.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the rollups are puffed and golden brown, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for color and added freshness, then serve the rollups warm as a tasty appetizer.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese for a sharper, more complex cheesy flavor.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the garlic butter before rolling up the pastry.
