Easy savory new york roll with pesto and cream cheese with 4 ingredients
You knew our love for New York Roll! In the sweet version, it is a round-shaped croissant with a cream inside (spread, pastry cream, etc.). Here, we have chosen to twist it into a savory version with pesto, for an express starter with only 4 ingredients! You can even make your own homemade pesto! Follow our step by step recipe below and enjoy!
Ingredients
Materials
- 2 metal circles 4 inches diameter (oven safe)
- 1 gratin dish
- 1 piping bag
- 1 chopstick
Preparation
Unroll the rectangular puff pastry and cut strips from the dough. We cut 7 strips in total lengthwise.
Spread cream cheese over the entire surface of the dough.
Roll a strip on itself and add another strip while continuing to roll it. Repeat to form a roll with 3 and a half strips.
Repeat the operation then place the two rolls on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Place the metal circles around the rolls.
Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with poppy seeds and cover with a gratin dish.
Bake the rolls in an oven preheated to 390°F (200°C) for 55 minutes. They should be nicely browned.
Mix the pesto with the rest of the cream cheese and transfer the stuffing to a piping bag.
Using a chopstick, poke vertical holes in the rolls.
Stuff the rolls with the pesto sauce using the piping bag then hide the holes formed with the sauce.
Decorate with a basil leaf (and why not some crushed pistachios?) and there you are, enjoy!
