Recipe: Tricolor Scrolls

The colors in these appetizers approximate Mardi Gras colors - purple, gold and green.

Tricolor Scrolls

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 Tbs. commercial pesto
6 thin slices red cabbage or savoy lettuce
6 thin slices orange cheddar (or American) cheese

Spread the pesto over the sheet of puff pastry dough, top
with lettuce then cheese. Start rolling the long side of the dough and continue until reaching the middle of the pastry sheet.

Roll the opposite end in to meet the first roll. Chill until scroll holds its shape for cutting.

Cut the roll into half-inch thick slices with a bread knife.

Place the slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake at 425 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
