My friend made a similar version at my baby shower last year and I kept thinking to myself "holy crap these look easy to make!" and indeed they are. I went home, made my own version and have remade it a few times over the past year.
My hubby loves them (perfect fatty snack) and my kids love them which is a joy because it is damn hard to get my eldest to eat anything new.
These are so damn easy and quick to make - perfect for those times when people knock on your door unannounced and make you think to yourself "Ugh, now I have to let you in. I guess you want to be fed too..." As you can tell I'm not a fan of people turning up announced. I actually think it's kind of rude although in many cultures (including my husband's) it's perfectly normal so it's handy to have something you can create at a moment's notice.
Ingredients:
- puff pastry sheets
- your choice of filling (Romano cheese and kalamata olives in my case)
Recipe
1. Thaw pastry sheet and slice in half.
2. Cover each half with the filling of your choice. I did one side plain cheddar cheese (for the kids) and the other Romano cheese and olives. You can always buy pre-prepared pesto sauces and slather that on instead.
3. Taking the end of a half, roll it up like you would a rug and then slice those babies up (not too thickly though).
4. Place the mini rolls flat side up on a baking tray and cook in the oven (180ºC) until the pastry has risen and is golden brown.
I made some plain mozzarella cheese ones for the kids (they're not really olive aficionados yet) and they couldn't get enough.
