Green Pepper Puff Pastry Rolls


Prison Bound-Social Distortion

This is one of my favorite appetizers to make. I try to always have some puff pastry in my fridge to make yummy cheesy snackers. This method is quicker then doing individual biscuits, but it still yummy. You can also switch green pepper out for whatever your favorite veggie is. You can pack these little bites of warm goodness full of whatever your heart desires.


1 1/2 blocks of cream cheese.
1 diced green pepper (or your favorite veggie)
10 shakes of garlic powder
1/3 cup of shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of white chopped onion
Pepper and Salt
1/4 cup of egg whites


Pre-heat oven to 400. Make sure you have thawed your puff pastry for at least two hours prior to using. Package comes with two sheets, prior to thawing, put one sheet in zip lock bag and stick back in freezer if you aren't using right away. It does not freeze well once thawed. Add cream cheese to bowl, mix in green pepper, onion, garlic powder, as well as egg whites. Set aside.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry, I don't have a roller, so I tossed and turned it until it was perfect size for my pan. Sprinkle parmesan and Swiss cheese on sheet of pastry. I added pepper and salt here as well.



Spread cream cheese mixture on puff pastry sheet, making sure to cover all areas.  
Starting closest to you, roll puff pastry, it will stretch as you roll it. Once rolled into a lovely cheese filled log, spray cookie sheet or parchment paper. Cut log into 1/2 inch wheels and lay cut side down on pan. Bake for 20 minutes, making sure not to burn bottoms. Mine were a little crispy here, but still turned out nice. My batch baked at least 20 rolls. This is the quicker version. Generally I cut individual squares and make pouches. Takes a little more time, but works well if you are adding extra veggies, like artichoke, spinach and asparagus. More recipes coming soon : )
ENJOY!!!
