Ingredients
- 2 sheets of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a 10x10-inch square.
- Spread half of the cottage cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the pastry into a log shape. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining filling.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Place the slices cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the pastry slices with beaten egg to give them a golden color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the cottage cheese puff pastries cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy the flaky, cheesy goodness!
