Serve these clever little appetizers instead of bread at lunchtime or for supper.

Ingredients

  • 34 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Dust work surface with 1⁄4 cup of the parmigiano-reggiano. Lay unfolded sheet of puff pastry on top of cheese, then sprinkle with 1⁄4 cup more grated cheese. Gently roll dough out with a rolling pin, pressing cheese into dough, to a thickness of about 1⁄8". Dust with more cheese as needed.

Step 2
