Puff Pastry Rolls = an experiment.

I wanted to make a special dinner for my honey - just because he is so great. Also, I was inspired by Pinterest. This is a rare occurrence for me, as I am not a "pinterest crazy." But, motivation actually struck! So here it is:

Started off with a refreshing drink. And so simple:

White wine + fresca + ball jar = so good.
I saw a recipe on pinterest for pizza rolls. I used the same principle, but traded out the pizza crust for puff pastry, and threw in some more sophisticated flavors.
Step 1: Gather all the ingredients
I used mozzerella cheese (half fat-free, half part skim), arugula, prosciutto, fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and some goat cheese (not pictured.) Meanwhile, I let the puff pastry thaw.

Step 2: Throw it all on the puff pastry

Step 3: Roll it all up and slice it (I also used an egg wash)
At this point in the game, I was a little nervous. The rolls seemed so unstable and about to fall apart. I was sure this was a "Pinterest Fail." However, never underestimate the power of Puff Pastry.

Step 4: Bake at 375 degrees for 20 or so minutes until they look like this:
Ta-daaaaa! This is the most Marla-ish thing I've ever made. I dedicate these to my mom, Marla, who can make the most delicious looking hors d'oeuvres ever!
