Garlic Croissants

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry dough (in refrigerated section)
• 1 Tbsp. Chef Merito® Garlic Powder
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 2 Tbsps. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup flour

Preparation

1. Roll out puff pastry dough. Sprinkle surface with flour to prevent dough from sticking.
2. Cut sheet into long zig-zag triangles with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Separate triangles and, using a rolling pin, extend the individual triangles a bit more.
3. Put 1 Tbsp. cheese on the wider part of the triangles, sprinkle with Chef Merito® Garlic Powder, and then roll them starting from the wide end towards the tip.
4. Make sure the tip stays under the bottom of the croissant. Curve both ends towards you and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
5. In a bowl, beat the egg with 1 Tbsp. of water and brush croissants with the egg wash. Sprinkle more Chef Merito® Garlic Powder and Parmesan cheese over each croissant.
6. Let them sit for a few minutes. Preheat the oven to 425º F and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until croissants are golden brown.
7. Enjoy while warm!
