Ingredients

• 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons white wine
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, white wine, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly to smooth the creases.
4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Starting from one end, tightly roll the puff pastry sheet into a log, sealing the edges as you go.
6. Place the cheese-filled puff pastry log onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the surface with the beaten egg wash.
7. Using a sharp knife, make small diagonal cuts on the surface of the puff pastry log, being careful not to cut all the way through.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions.
10. Serve the Quick Wine and Cheese Puff warm and enjoy!
