Ingredients
- 1 rectangular puff pastry sheet (10 x 15 inches)
- 10.5 oz Alaska smoked salmon
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
- Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and cream cheese. Add the finely chopped chives and season with black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Cut and Spread the Dough
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it lengthwise into 6 strips. Spread the yogurt-cream cheese mixture evenly over each strip.
Add the Salmon
- Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips and lay them on top of the cream cheese spread on each dough strip.
Fold and Roll
- Fold the dough over the salmon until the salmon is covered, then roll each strip into a rose shape.
Bake the Roses
- Place each rose in a muffin tin lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes. Halfway through, cover with aluminum foil to prevent the salmon from darkening.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm or at room temperature for a stunning and tasty treat!
