Flaky Pesto Olive Pinwheels
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. cream cheese -- softened
- 1 c. grated parmesan
- 2 green onions with tops -- minced
- 1/3 c. your favorite pesto sauce
- 1 pkg. frozen puff pastry sheets -- thawed until cold
- enough to roll but still chilled
- 1 1/2 c. whole pitted ripe olives -- wedged or coarsely
- -- chopped
Preparation:
- Beat together cream cheese, parmesan, green onions and pesto until well blended.
- On lightly floured surface roll half of puff pastry (1 sheet) into 10x6 inch rectangle.
- Spread half the cheese mixture over pastry, covering completely.
- Scatter half the olives over filling.
- Roll lengthwise like jelly roll, starting at long side to make a log.
- Repeat with remaining pastry, filling and olives.
- Freeze logs until solid ( or up to 2 months).
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove logs from freezer 10-15 min. before baking. Slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place 1 1/2 in. apart on non-stick baking sheets. Bake 10-12 min. or until lightly browned.
