Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14 x 11-inch rectangle.  Sprinkle with the cheese and herbs. Starting at a short side, roll up like a jelly roll.  Wrap the pastry roll with plastic wrap and freeze for 45 minutes or until firm.
  • Cut the pastry roll into 75 (1/8-inch) slices.  Place the slices, cut-side down, onto baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
