Parmesan-Scallion Pastry Pinwheels

  • 10 mins
  • 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.25-ounce box), thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (1-1/2 ounces)
  • kosher salt and black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Unfold the pastry and brush with the egg. Sprinkle with the scallions, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roll tightly into a log. Freeze until firm but still sliceable, about 20 minutes.

Slice the log into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tip: The pinwheels can be baked up to 6 hours in advance; store covered at room temperature. Alternatively, make and freeze the log, tightly wrapped, up to 1 week in advance. Let thaw slightly before slicing and baking.
