Ingredients

• 1 cup black olives
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 sheet puff pastry sheets
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the black olives and fresh parsley, then set them aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Add the chopped black olives and parsley to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 5

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it is smooth and even.

Step 6

Spread the olive and cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log, starting from one of the longer edges.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled pastry into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced at least 1 inch apart.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the olive oil to create an egg wash. Brush each pastry round lightly with the egg wash for golden browning.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the savory flavors of these Black Olive Appetizers!
