Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Filling
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and about two-thirds of the grated hard cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Assemble the Swirls
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto your work surface. Spread the garlic-cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pastry, leaving a small border along one of the longer edges. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top.
Roll and Slice
Tightly roll the pastry up from the long edge, finishing with the clean border to help seal it. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into individual swirls, about 0.5-0.75 inches (1.5-2 cm) thick.
Bake
Carefully place the swirls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Brush the tops and sides with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway or sesame seeds, if using. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the swirls are puffed up, golden brown, and crisp.
Serve
Let the swirls cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. They are best served warm.
