Steps to make puff pastry swirls with pesto and speck
To prepare the puff pastry swirls with pesto and speck, first unroll 1 roll of rectangular puff pastry on a work surface or a cutting board, keeping its parchment paper if possible. Take 1 jar of pesto without garlic and spread it with the help of a spoon on the puff pastry, then place thin slices of speck on top.
Now roll the puff pastry onto itself and wrap the roll in its parchment paper, placing it in the refrigerator to rest for about 30 minutes. It will be easier to cut into slices. After the resting time, take the roll back, and with the help of a smooth-bladed knife, cut your swirls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the static oven to 356°F and once hot, bake the swirls and cook them for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden. Cooking time may vary depending on each oven. I baked them for about 20 minutes.
When they are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Your puff pastry swirls with pesto and speck are ready to be served.
