I saw this beautiful snack on Smitten Kitchen and had to try it. It's so easy! It looks really fancy, but it's super simple. Very tasty and would be great to have out for a cocktail party. You can fill it with anything (cheese, chocolate, nutella...) but I tried a savory one first with tapenade. I did a mini one using just one sheet of puff pastry, but you can do a bigger one using two.
Ingredients:
1 sheet thawed puff pastry
tapenade (I made some by pureeing black olives, sundried tomatoes, capers, garlic, anchovy paste, olive oil, and red pepper flakes, but store-bought works, too!)
grated pecorino
1 egg, beaten up with some water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Roll out puff pastry into two even-sized squares.
Cut each into a circle (I used a bowl as a guide).
Put on piece on a piece of tin foil on a cookie sheet (I did it on the counter which was tricky to move).
Spread with the tapenade.
Top with some grated pecorino or parm.
Put the other circle on top and pat lightly to make them stick together.
Place a small bowl or glass in the middle and cut even strips like above.
Gently twist each strip a couple of times in the same direction.
Brush with the egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
That's it! Twist off the little pieces and enjoy.
