Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
150g smoked salmon slices
150g cream cheese, softened
Fresh herbs (such as dill, chives, or parsley), chopped – Lemon zest, from 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly on a floured surface to smooth any creases.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Lay the smoked salmon slices over the cream cheese mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the puff pastry and smoked salmon into a tight log. Seal the edge by pressing gently.
- Place the rolled log in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- Remove from the refrigerator and slice the log into about 1-inch thick rounds.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the slices with beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
