Ingredients

Puff Pastry:

  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry (thawed)

Pesto Filling:

  • 1/3 cup basil pesto

Cheese Mixture:

  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Additional:

  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

  • Optional fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  2. Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Add Filling: Spread pesto, cheeses over pastry. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls.
  4. Bake: Place rolls on the sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden.
