To kick off this week, I wanted to share this adapted recipe that was absolutely delicious. They are called Puff Pastry Garlic Parmesan Spirals. A mouthful that’s for sure but also what you will literally have, your mouth full.
This recipe was showcased at our family Easter dinner and it was a perfect addition to the rest of our meal.
Garlicy and warm and buttery oh my goodness this is delicate yet bursting with flavors.
It was pretty easy to make, I made a few changes to the original recipe. The original recipe came from Kim at Today’s Creative Life:

I didn’t have oregano, which was quite a surprise, so I opted for a blend of herbs and spices. I used a basic Italian mix which you can find at any grocery store. However, this was one I had made myself. Anyways, I thought it would add another dimension of flavor and it did!
I also used an entire head of garlic which is 7-9 cloves. The original recipe called for 3 cloves but as you know, in the Kearns kitchen, the more garlic the better. My Dad and I love love loved them and the amount of garlic caused a spiciness that was delightful. The rest of my family though, thought it was too much. That is why I put 5 cloves of garlic but depending on your own preference, add more or less as you see fit.
Something else I ran into was letting the puff pastry thaw for too long. I was busy in the kitchen cooking away and forgot about it. Later that night, when I went to make the spirals, it was very wet, doughy, and sticky. I had to use a hefty amount of flour on the rolling pin as well as the surface I was working on. Treat your puff pastry with care, people!
