This is a super-easy appetizer! You could make endless variations: a pine nut, sun-dried tomato and parmesan cheese combination just came to mind.
Herb Pinwheels
-
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
-
1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs (I used basil, parsley and chives)
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 Tbsp. olive oil
-
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine chopped herbs, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. On a lightly floured surface, or silicon mat, unfold puff pastry. Spread herb mixture on pastry and roll up. With a sharp knife, cut into 16 slices. Place slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat, and bake until puffed and golden on edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 10 minutes.

Great Idea, but I don’t think that olive “tamponade” sounds the most appetizing. Tapenade does though!

Egads…..thank you so much for pointing out my misspelling. What an unappetizing mistake :/
