Cream cheese and salmon palmiers - a quick and delicious party snack

on

Today I'd like to share a recipe for a simple, delicious puff pastry party snack.

 

We'll prepare palmiers, also known as elephant's ears. They're quite popular sweet, baked with sugar and cinnamon. I decided to go for a savoury version this time, with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Smoked salmon flavour adds some character to our snacks, and cheese is just perfectly baked. I promise you these guys will be a star of every party.

You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.

List of ingredients

  • Puff pastry sheet (~380 g)
  • 5 tbsp cream cheese (~270 g)
  • 100 g smoked salmon
  • A small bunch of chives
  • Pepper to taste

Method

  1. Chop a small bunch of chives finely.
  2. Roll out puff pastry sheet and put a few tbsp of cream cheese. Spread it in an even layer across the whole surface.
  3. Cover cream cheese with smoked salmon slices. Scatter part of chives and ground black pepper on top.
  4. Roll pastry along the longer edge, reaching to the centre of the sheet. Turn the sheet by 180 deg C and roll the second half, getting two joint rolls. Press them together lightly and cover tightly with baking paper. Put pastry into a freezer for 30 minutes to make it easier to slice the roll.
  5. Take pastry out of the freezer, remove baking paper and slice them into 1 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
  6. Place palmiers on a baking tray lined with baking paper, 2 cm apart, as they will rise during baking.
  7. Bake the palmiers in a conventional oven preheated to 200 deg C for 25-30 minutes, until beautiful and golden.
  8. Take palmiers out of the oven and set them aside on a tray to cool slightly. Transfer them to a wire rack then and cool completely.
  9. Scatter remaining chives on top before serving.
  10. Enjoy!
