Ingredients
  

Puff Pastry Roses Ingredients
  • 400 g puff pastry, thawed (14 oz)
  • 50 g all-purpose flour, for dusting (1.75 oz)
  • 1 large egg, for brushing
  • 150 g hard cheese, grated (5.3 oz)
  • 150 g cooked chicken breast, finely chopped (5.3 oz)
  • 150 g cream cheese, at room temperature (5.3 oz)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the grated hard cheese, finely chopped chicken, and cream cheese until well combined.
  3. Lightly dust a floured surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of 2-3 mm (1/16 inch).
  4. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles of approximately 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter from the rolled pastry.
  5. Take each circle and gently pleat the edges around a glass to create a rose shape, leaving the center open for the filling.
  6. Fill each pastry rose with the cheese and chicken mixture.
  7. Carefully brush the tops and edges of the roses with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
