Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 120 grams cream cheese
• 50 grams black olives
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped black olives, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out bat shapes from the dough.

Step 4

Place half of the bat-shaped cutouts on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of the cheese mixture (approximately 1 teaspoon) onto the center of each cutout.

Step 5

Carefully place another bat-shaped cutout on top of each filled one, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 6

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the bat bites with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the bat bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these garlicky bat bites as a fun appetizer or party treat!
