Delicious and elegant puff pastry rolls filled with creamy cream cheese, smoked salmon, and fresh dill. Perfect as appetizers or a light snack, these golden-brown rolls combine flaky pastry with savory smoky flavors and a hint of herbaceous freshness.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 rectangular puff pastry sheet

Filling

  • 100 g cream cheese (such as St Môret or ricotta)
  • 2–3 slices smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Finishing

  • 1 egg yolk, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready once the rolls are prepared.
  2. Prepare Pastry Base: Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating your base for the filling.
  3. Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the 100 g of cream cheese over the entire surface of the puff pastry to create a creamy layer.
  4. Add Smoked Salmon: Lay 2 to 3 slices of smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese for a rich, smoky flavor.
  5. Season and Herb: Sprinkle finely chopped dill and freshly ground black pepper over the salmon for refreshing herbal notes and seasoning.
  6. Roll the Pastry: Carefully roll the pastry tightly lengthwise to encase the filling in a compact log.
  7. Chill the Roll: Place the rolled pastry into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice.
  8. Slice into Pieces: Remove from freezer and slice the roll into 1 cm thick pieces, ready for baking.
  9. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the sliced rolls on a baking sheet, ensuring some space between each piece, then brush the tops with egg yolk for a glossy, golden finish.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

Notes

  • Use cold cream cheese for easier spreading.
  • Chilling the rolled pastry before slicing prevents the filling from spilling out.
  • Substitute dill with chives or parsley if preferred.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
