Golden puff pastry swirls layered with bacon, Gruyère, caramelized onions, and thyme for a savory treat.
# Ingredient List:
→ Dough
01 -
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (17-ounce package)
→ Filling
02 -
2 tablespoons cream-style horseradish
03 -
2 cups Gruyère cheese, shredded
04 -
2/3 cup caramelized onions
05 -
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
06 -
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Lay one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and ensure the dough is approximately 1/8 inch thick; gently roll with a rolling pin if needed.
02 -
Spread 1 tablespoon cream-style horseradish evenly across the surface of the pastry sheet.
03 -
Distribute 1 cup shredded Gruyère, 1/3 cup caramelized onions, half the crumbled bacon, and 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme evenly over the horseradish layer.
04 -
Cover the filled pastry with plastic wrap or parchment paper and press down gently to compact layers or gently roll with a rolling pin.
05 -
Working from one long edge, roll the pastry tightly towards the center. Repeat from the opposite side until both rolls meet in the middle. If needed, use a few drops of water to help seal the seam.
06 -
Repeat the filling and rolling process with the second pastry sheet and remaining filling ingredients.
07 -
Wrap both filled pastry rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes until firm but not fully frozen.
08 -
Unwrap chilled rolls and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, yielding approximately 24 slices per roll.
09 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange sliced palmiers 1 inch apart on prepared sheets.
10 -
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and flaky, rotating the pans halfway through baking. Let stand for 2-3 minutes, loosen with a thin metal spatula, and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
11 -
Freeze palmiers in a single layer on baking sheets until solid, then transfer to freezer-safe bags for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C), place frozen palmiers 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp, rotating pans halfway through. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
