Garlic Cheese Puff Pastry: Party-Ready

Instructions:

1. Roll the thawed puff pastry onto a piece of parchment paper into a rectangle, ensuring the dough remains cool.
2. Using a spatula, spread the softened cream cheese mixture in a thin, even layer across the pastry, then sprinkle the Parmesan and fresh parsley over the top, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
3. Roll the pastry tightly from the long side to create a log, then use a pizza cutter to slice the log into 1-inch rounds.
4. Place each round on a parchment-lined baking sheet with plenty of space between them.
5. Brush the tops of the pastry rounds with the garlic butter glaze (melted butter, garlic powder, and oregano).
6. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 18-22 minutes until the exterior is mahogany-colored and the layers have lifted.
