Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. Chop the onions finely and grate the cheddar cheese in advance for quicker assembly.
Sauté The Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add chopped onions, stirring until they turn translucent and fragrant—about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed onions with shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Roll Out The Pastry: Unroll your puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares or rectangles based on your desired roll size.
Fill And Shape The Rolls: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese-onion mixture onto each pastry square’s center. Fold over diagonally or roll up into desired shapes; seal edges using a fork.
Bake To Perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush each roll with egg wash before placing them on a lined baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and puffed up beautifully.
