Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions, ensuring it is pliable but still cool to the touch.

Step 3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Mince the garlic and stir it into the melted butter.

Step 4

Add the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the garlic butter mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread the garlic-poppy seed butter mixture over the entire surface of the pastry using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Starting with one long edge, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to keep it secure.

Step 7

Slice the log into approximately 16 spiral pieces, about 1/2 inch thick each, and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each spiral lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
