Delicious and elegant puff pastry rolls filled with creamy cheese and smoky salmon, flavored with fresh dill and black pepper. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, these savory bites are easy to prepare and bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 rectangular puff pastry sheet

Filling

  • 100 g cream cheese (such as St Môret or ricotta)
  • 2–3 slices smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Finishing

  • 1 egg yolk, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it is ready for baking the puff pastry rolls.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  3. Add Filling: Spread the cream cheese evenly across the puff pastry sheet, ensuring full coverage for consistent flavor.
  4. Layer Salmon: Arrange the smoked salmon slices evenly over the cream cheese layer for a balanced taste in each bite.
  5. Season: Sprinkle the chopped dill and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the salmon to add fresh herbal notes and a hint of spice.
  6. Roll Pastry: Carefully roll the pastry tightly lengthwise into a log shape to encase the filling and maintain structure.
  7. Chill Roll: Place the rolled pastry in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm it up, which makes slicing easier and helps maintain shape during baking.
  8. Slice: Slice the chilled roll into 1 cm thick pieces, creating individual pinwheel rolls.
  9. Arrange and Brush: Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with the egg yolk to achieve a golden brown finish.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before unrolling to prevent sticking and tearing.
  • You can substitute dill with chives or parsley for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • For extra crispiness, brush a little melted butter over the rolls before baking.
  • These rolls can be prepared ahead and frozen uncooked; bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
