Cheese Pastry

Cheese Pastry is such an easy puff pastry appetizer or bread recipe! It's loaded with mozzarella cheese and garlic, which makes it taste like cheesy garlic bread. Except, I think it's even better because puff pastry has those magical buttery layers that puff up while it bakes!

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter softened
2 cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
to taste salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 sheet puff pastry

Instructions

Remove one sheet of puff pastry from freezer and thaw according to package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchement paper.
Mix butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and cheeses together. Set aside.
Cut pastry in half. Create a border around the edge of the pastry by scoring the pastry with a knife about 1/2 inch in from the edge of the pastry. I only score the pastry about half way through the thickness of the pastry.
Set the pastry on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
Spread half of the butter mixture over each piece of puff pastry on the inside of the scored border.
Bake for 8-10 more minutes. If you want to toast the cheese, even more, set the oven to broil with the oven rack about 6 inches from the top. Toast the bread for about 1-2 minutes or until it's golden brown. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
Let cool for about 5 minutes then cut into thick slices.
