Ingredients
Scale
Pastry and Cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Butter and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Brush evenly with the melted unsalted butter to add richness and help the seasonings adhere.
- Add Fillings: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the buttered pastry, followed by the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses. Then, evenly distribute the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to infuse the rollups with flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the pastry into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1-inch pieces, forming individual rollups ready for baking.
- Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Arrange the rollups cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden color as they bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy these cheesy garlic butter rollups as a perfect appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For an extra cheesy variation, add a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese along with the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Serve these rollups with warm marinara sauce for a delicious dipping option.
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to prevent cracking and uneven cooking.
- You can prepare the rollups in advance and refrigerate them before baking, just add an extra minute to the baking time if chilled.
