how to make Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups
Work on a flat surface. Roll out the pastry, spread butter and garlic, add the cheeses and herbs, then roll and slice. Bake until puffed and golden. For a step that pairs well, try a savory pasta like this beef and rotini in garlic parmesan sauce on the side. Keep the roll tight when you roll the pastry so the filling stays inside.
