Ingredients:

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
• 9 thin slices salami, pastrami and/or capacola
• 2 cups shredded provolone
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbs dried Basil
• 2 Tbs dried Oregano
• 1 tsp crushed dried red pepper flakes (or to taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 cup finely chopped black (preferably kalamata) olives
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thaw pastry on counter for 15 minutes, then unfold and layer meat and cheese on top, making sure to cover pastry completely. Sprinkle garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and olives over the top evenly. Roll up two opposite sides of pastry until they meet in the middle. Cut into 1/8-inch slices and place on baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush tops with beaten egg; sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 6 minutes or until golden and puffy. Remove from baking sheet immediately and cool slightly on wire rack.

Notes:

Number of servings: 4-6
