Spiced Parmesan Palmiers are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that combines the buttery, flaky layers of puff pastry with a savory blend of spices and cheese. Perfect for parties or an indulgent treat anytime, these palmiers are sure to impress with minimal effort.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and salt. Mix them together until well blended.
Unroll the sheet of puff pastry on a clean, flat surface. If the pastry is too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it's pliable but still chilled.
Lightly brush the puff pastry sheet with olive oil using a pastry brush. This will help the spice mixture adhere to the dough.
Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over the entire surface of the puff pastry. Make sure to cover every corner for a consistent flavor in each palmier.
To create the palmier shape, start by folding the long sides of the pastry towards the center. Fold each side again towards the center until both sides meet in the middle. You should end up with a long, narrow piece of dough with multiple layers.
Place the folded dough in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to slice and will help maintain the shape while baking.
After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch (about 0.6 cm) wide slices.
Place the slices cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the palmiers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Allow the palmiers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
After baking these Spiced Parmesan Palmiers, you're left with a deliciously crisp, flavorful pastry that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them warm from the oven or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with dips or can be enjoyed on their own as a tasty snack.
Spiced parmesan palmiers FAQ:
Bake the palmiers in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
The puff pastry should be pliable but still chilled. If it's too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it softens slightly.
Store leftover Spiced Parmesan Palmiers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze them for up to a month.
Yes, you can substitute other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano, but keep in mind that this may alter the flavor profile slightly.
If your palmiers aren't crispy, they may need a bit longer in the oven. Ensure they are spaced well on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of crisping.
Tips:
- Ensure your puff pastry is cold before you start working with it; if it becomes too warm, it can become difficult to handle.
- Roll the puff pastry evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout the palmiers.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the spice mix.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry into even slices to ensure they bake evenly.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
