Parmesan & Pesto Twists ... bring the wine !!

One ingredient you should always have in your freezer : Puff Pastry !!!!



There are so many things you can do easily with Puff Pastry, and these "Feuilletes au Parmesan & Pesto" (bite-size puffy appetizers) are so deliciously warm and crunchy right out from the oven.

That's what I'm talking about !


One thing I highly recommend : The "Pepperidge Farm" Puff Pastry is the best value I've found so far !!!



Use your favorite ingredients to create your own recipe : Pesto, Cheese, Parmesan, Herbs, Mustard, Basil, Tomato Sauce, Spices (Curry, Paprika, Cumin, etc ...)



It is really quick & easy, your guests will love your small Feuilletes !!


A bientot & Bon Appetit!
