Background

During the festive seasons it’s sensible to keep ready-rolled pastry in the fridge or freezer, as it’s a very useful ingredient to make quick and easy nibbles for friends and family member. These easy pesto palmiers can be prepared in just 5 minutes, then baked in12 minutes. It’s also a flexible recipe - you can use gluten-free puff pastry, vegan pesto & cheese, red or green pesto; you can supplement it with chopped nuts, chilli flakes, herbs and so on. Before baking, you can brush them with egg-wash or milk, if your diet allows.

Ingredients

1 ready rolled puff pastry
1 jar green or red pesto (can be vegan)
1 egg yolk, beaten (optional)

Instructions

Scatter some grated Parmesan (if used), onto a large baking sheet, then put the rolled pasty on to top and unroll, making sure the bottom side is coated all over with Parmesan.
Using a spatula or silicon brush, spread evenly a thin layer of pesto on top of the pastry.
With a blunt knife draw a line across the centre of the pastry sheet (horizontally). Scatter some more Parmesan on top, if you like.
Carefully roll up one horizontal side to the centre line, then the other side. Cover with clingfilm, then chill for at least 15 minutes, until needed.
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Cut the roll into 1 cm slices and place them onto a lined baking sheet. (You can brush them with egg-wash or milk, if you’re not vegan.)
Bake for about 8 minutes, until golden, then flip them and bake for another 5 minutes or so.
Serve freshly baked or at room temperature.
