PARMESAN PUFFS
A simple, super-quick-to-prepare recipe for an attractive and delicious appetiser, from the August/September 2005 issue of 'Australian Vogue Entertaining + Travel'. The recipe recommends using good-quality store-bought puff pastry. For an attractive colour contrast, top half the puffs with the cayenne pepper or paprika as specified in the recipe; and the other half with one of these mixed with your favourite herb, finely chopped. Perhaps basil or thyme. You can have these fully prepared in advance, and bake just before they are required.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE IN PUFF PASTRY
While looking in the fridge to decide on something to make with chicken breast, I looked in the freezer and saw some pastry sheets and frozen spinach. My wife loves beef and salmon Wellington, so I thought why not chicken? It turned out excellent! Impress your friends with this one. Top with a Bearnaise or Hollandaise sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on medium power for 6 minutes. Remove cover and stir. Remove to a strainer and let cool.
- While the spinach is cooking, butterfly the chicken without cutting all the way through. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Unfold pastry sheet and cut down the folds to make 3 equal pieces.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add chicken. Saute until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Squeeze spinach to remove excess water. Combine spinach with garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper; mix well.
- Put 1/3 of the spinach mixture in each open chicken breast and top with a 1 slice of provolone cheese. Fold the top of each chicken breast in order to sandwich the spinach and cheese in between. Place each chicken breast on a piece of puff pastry; wrap the pastry around the breast and tuck underneath to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
