Puff Pastry Pinwheels With Smoked Salmon And Cream Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Chop.
• Make an aioli by combining mayonnaise, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
• Roll the puff pastry out into a 12-inch square. Spread aioli onto the pastry quickly and top with bacon, tomatoes, and salmon. Roll up jelly roll-style and cut into 12 equal pieces. Lay on the prepared baking sheet and let chill for about 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dust a flat work surface lightly with flour. Unroll puff pastry and roll out to a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of herbed cream cheese over the puff pastry. Cover with Swiss cheese slices, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll puff pastry up tightly like a jelly roll.
• Slice puff pastry roll in 1/4-inch-thick slices and lay on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack until lightly browned and puffed up, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, red onion, and basil in a bowl until completely blended.
• On a piece of waxed paper, arrange the smoked salmon slices in a rectangle about 3 inches wide and 12 inches long, slightly overlapping each piece. (If the salmon slices are cut irregularly, simply piece them together like a puzzle.)
• Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the salmon, sprinkle with the capers, and roll up like a jellyroll.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place each pinwheel atop a cucumber round to serve.

Steps:

• Unroll the pastry and brush one side all over with the beaten egg. Sprinkle over the poppy seeds, then flip over the pastry. Spread the cream cheese over the pastry and top with the smoked salmon, then scatter over the chives. With one of the longer sides facing you, mark a line roughly down the centre, but don't cut all the way through. Tightly roll each end in towards the middle until you reach the centre. Slice into 1cm-thick pieces and place, cut-side up, on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Chill until ready to bake, or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 20-25 mins until puffed up and golden brown (if baking from frozen, cook for an extra 5 mins). Leave to cool on a wire rack before packing for your picnic.
