Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 16 pieces pitted green olives (small)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares, making a total of 16 squares.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 5

Press one pitted green olive, cut side down, into the cream cheese mixture on each square. The olive should resemble the 'iris' of the 'eye.'

Step 6

Bring two opposite corners of the puff pastry square together over the top of the olive, pinching them tightly to seal. This creates an eye-like shape while leaving the olive exposed.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the puff pastry for a golden finish.

Step 8

Place the assembled appetizers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and serve warm or at room temperature.
