Ingredients

  • 1 sheet (about 9x9 inch) puff pastry sheet
  • ½ cup pesto
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    On a lightly floured surface (use the 1 tbsp flour), roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth it, about 10x10 inch.

  3. 3

    Spread the 1/2 cup pesto evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2 inch border on one long edge.

  4. 4

    Brush the border with a little beaten egg (from the 1 egg), then roll the pastry tightly from the opposite edge into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

  5. 5

    Cut the log into 12 equal slices, about 3/4 inch thick. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

  6. 6

    Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15-18 minutes.

  7. 7

    Let cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then serve warm.
