Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

½ lb ground beef

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tbsp water

Optional Toppings:

Sesame seeds

Chopped parsley

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal rectangles.

3. Assemble the Pastry Rolls
Spoon a small amount of beef filling onto the center of each pastry rectangle. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef. Roll each pastry rectangle into a log, sealing the edges by pinching them together.

4. Egg Wash and Bake
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the tops of the pastry rolls with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

5. Serve and Enjoy!
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
