Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 4 tablespoons black olive tapenade
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12 inch rectangle.

Step 3

Spread the olive tapenade evenly over the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tapenade layer.

Step 5

Starting from one long side of the rectangle, tightly roll the pastry inward toward the center. Repeat on the other side until both rolls meet in the middle, forming a 'double scroll' shape.

Step 6

Wrap the rolled pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Once chilled, remove the pastry from the fridge and slice the roll crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Place the slices flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.

Step 10

Brush each palmier lightly with the egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. These savory snacks pair wonderfully with wine or as part of an appetizer spread.
