SAVORY PALMIERS
Frozen puff pastry becomes your best friend in this recipe. (I didn't have a box on hand when writing up this recipe so the 16 oz. is a guess. Just buy one box with 2 sheets of puff pastry.) It's so easy to use and is available in the freezer aisle in most grocery stores. Palmiers are usually sweet but here they are baked with pesto, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes to make a savory treat. Great to serve with cocktails. Recipe by Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa.

SAVORY MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN PALMIERS RECIPE - (4.7/5)
Provided by á-4084
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Heat oil in a large, deep skillet. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic and cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Tie bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and tarragon together in a bundle with kitchen string and add to skillet. Add wine, Marsala, and 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. water and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove herb bundle and stir panko, Parmesan, salt, and pepper into the mushroom mixture. Transfer mixture to a food processor and purée until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to a 9"x15" rectangle. Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 5 minutes. Spread mushroom purée evenly on puff pastry. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll pastry until you reach the middle. Repeat on other side. Gently stretch the log to 18" and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400°F and arrange racks in lower and upper thirds of oven. Line a second rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Cut the log in half crosswise, and cut each segment into 1/4" slices using a large sharp knife. Arrange slices on baking sheets at least 1" apart; brush with oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake, rotating sheets top to bottom and back to front halfway through, until palmiers are golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets. Do ahead Pastry logs can be made up to 1 week ahead; store wrapped in plastic in the freezer. Palmiers can be baked up to 1 week ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature, and re-crisp in a 325°F oven for 8-10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality puff pastry for the best results. Fresh or frozen puff pastry can be used, but be sure to thaw frozen puff pastry completely before using.
- Roll the puff pastry out thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. This will help the palmiers to be crispy and flaky.
- Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking. This will help the palmiers to brown nicely.
- Bake the palmiers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the palmiers cool slightly before serving. They will be easier to handle and will taste even better after they have cooled down a bit.
Conclusion:
Savory palmiers are a quick and easy appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover puff pastry. Serve your savory palmiers with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
