# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 - 17.6 oz ready-made puff pastry (2 sheets)
→ Filling
02 - 7 oz cream cheese
03 - 3.5 oz grated Gruyère cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
05 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
06 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
07 - 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
08 - 1 small zucchini, finely diced
09 - 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
10 - 1 tablespoon milk
11 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
# Instructions:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend cream cheese, grated Gruyère, chopped chives, parsley, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut each into 6 equal rectangles, yielding 12 pieces total.
04 - Place approximately one heaping tablespoon of the filling along the long edge of each rectangle. Roll each piece tightly, sealing seams by pinching.
05 - Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a circle on the lined baking tray, overlapping slightly to form a crown.
06 - Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush evenly over the rolls for a golden finish.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
08 - Let the crown cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow easy pulling apart by guests.
