Cheese palmiers Recipe
Ingredients
- 500g puff pastry, ready-rolled
- 150g Emmentaler cheese
- 1 egg
- 8 shallots
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
- Small knob butter
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Plain flour for rolling the pastry
Directions
- PREP - Peel and finely chop the shallots. Wash the thyme, strip the leaves and finely chop. Beat the egg. Grate the cheese.
- SOFTEN - Melt the butter in a small frying pan. Add the shallots and thyme leaves, sprinkle with a little salt and soften for about 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- BRUSH - On a floured surface, unroll the pastry and brush with the beaten egg.
- FILL - Scatter the cooled shallots and grated cheese over the pastry, add a generous grinding of black pepper and fold the long sides over towards each other to meet in the middle. Brush a little egg down the centre to stick the two halves together so you have one long, fat strip.
- CHILL - Chill the pastry in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- 200˚C - PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 200˚C/180˚C FAN/GAS 6
- SLICE - Grease and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Cut the pastry roll into 30 slices and lay them cut-side down on the parchment. Brush lightly with the remaining beaten egg.
- BAKE - Bake for 10 minutes or until risen and golden brown.
