Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • Optional: finely chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly flour work surface and gently roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth creases (about 12×12 inches). Chill dough for 10 minutes if too warm or sticky.
  3. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Cut puff pastry sheets into rectangles about 3×6 inches each, yielding roughly 8 pieces per sheet.
  5. Brush edges of each rectangle lightly with melted butter to help seal.
  6. Place about 1½ tablespoons of cheese mixture near one short edge of each pastry piece. Roll tightly and gently, sealing edges with more butter if needed.
  7. Arrange roll ups seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Brush tops and sides of each roll up with the egg wash for a shiny golden finish.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed, golden brown, and cheese is bubbly.
  10. Let roll ups cool on the tray for 5 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set.

Notes

Do not overfill the roll ups to prevent cheese from oozing out. Keep butter melted but not hot when brushing edges to avoid soggy dough. Chill puff pastry if it becomes too soft or sticky. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. For extra crunch, lightly spray cooking oil on top before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep crust flaky.
