Ingredients
- Flour, for dusting
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 6 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 tablespoons prepared olive tapenade
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 10 by 10-inch square. Spread 3 tablespoons of tomato paste evenly on top, followed by 3 tablespoons of olive tapenade. Sprinkle half of mozzarella and Parmesan over top. Roll up the puff pastry like a jelly roll, just to the middle of the dough. Repeat with the other side in the same fashion, making 2 rolls that meet in the center. Duplicate the process with the second puff pastry sheet.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange on cookie sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes. (Because they will puff up to twice their size after baking, place them far enough apart.) Just before baking, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl, and brush onto the olive crisp slices. Bake for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve warm or room temperature.

When I make these I use less tomatoe paste than Sandra and I have customized it in many ways. I have used chopped artichokes instead of olives, and also olive tapinad in green and black versions. I have used carmalized onions with motz cheese, parm cheese and feta. Top with some chopped parsley and they are great. I think the trick is to make the roll, chill it well and slice it no more than a half an inch. Bake on parchment paper and make sure you do brush it with a beaten egg but not too much. (I have also used egg subsitute and it works great. You can be very inventive with this recipe. Give it a try.

Look familiar?
Sandra Lee cannot cook. Her recipes are extremely unhealthful, cost more than making food from scratch, and are unnecessarily complex and time-consuming to make. Anything that those three doesn't cover tastes (not to mention looks awful. She doesn't even know most of the food terminology nor is she apparently familiar with any of the cultures she imitates in her "themed" episodes. She should be given a sentence, not a show.
