SERVES
8-10 people
INGREDIENTS:
sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
1, 5 ounce package Boursin Garlic and Herb Soft Cheese, softened to room temperature
1, 4 ounce package prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 cup Sam’s Fresh Mild Salsa, drained in a mesh sieve
½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your countertop and roll the puff pastry dough into a rectangle, approximately 14” x 10”. Crumble the soft herb cheese over the pastry and then, using an offset or rubber spatula, spread it evenly to cover the dough (to the edges).
Lay the prosciutto slices evenly over the top of the herb cheese. Sprinkle the salsa evenly over the prosciutto and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Starting at the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log, jelly-roll style, pushing in any ingredients that pop out of the ends back inside the roll. Pinch the seam together at the end of the roll and place the roll, seam-side-down on the countertop.
Using a serrated steak knife, cut the roll cross-wise into ¾-1” rounds. Use a sawing motion as you cut to keep the rounds intact as you cut through. Place the rounds, cut-side-up, on the baking sheet.
Combine the yolk and water in a small bowl and beat until smooth with a fork. Brush the egg wash all over the tops and sides of the pinwheels.
Bake for 14-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool to set for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. DELISH!!!
