Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed (about 245 g)
4 tbsp Berry Fruit Spread Jelly (Jam) Mixed berry, strawberry or raspberry
1 ½ cups white cheddar shredded
Cracked black pepper optional
Honey optional

Instructions

Place the puff pastry sheet on top of a parchment paper. Apply fruit spread evenly over the puff pastry sheet. If there are bits of fruit in the spread, that's OK.
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, 4 tbsp Berry Fruit Spread Jelly (Jam)
Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese on top (as much as needed). There should be at least about ½ cup of shredded cheese leftover - set that aside for later.
1 ½ cups white cheddar
Optional - sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the cheese.
Cracked black pepper
Roll up the puff pastry from both sides until it meets in the middle. Make sure it's rolled up fairly snugly.
Wrap the log in the parchment paper and keep it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. IF you freeze this overnight, just leave it out on the counter to let it thaw out enough to be sliceable.
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the leftover ½ cup of cheese over this parchment paper.
When the pastry log is chilled, slice into ½ cm thick slices.
Place each slice on top of the cheese with about ¾ inch of space between each palmier.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the puff pastry turns golden brown in color.
Remove from the oven and let them cool down.
Serve while warm and crispy with an optional drizzle of honey on top. Enjoy!

Notes

You can also use homemade puff pastry.

This is my recipe for rough puff pastry, and for this savory palmiers recipe, you will be using about 1/3 - 1/2 of my puff pastry recipe. Make sure to have a square that is about 9 inches and about 4 - 5 mm thick.
