Puff Pastry Rocks!
We filled the buttery crisp dough with savory Buffalo Chicken Dip and baked it until it was warm and gooey! Your guests (and your family) will love this quick & easy appetizer!
I made this recipe for our neighborhood Thirsty Thursday gathering and it was a hit! As in, there were merely crumbs left at the end of the evening.
How to Assemble the Stromboli
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 40 minutes
- Unwrap and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet
- Generously fill the center third of the dough with cold buffalo chicken dip
- Sprinkle with green onion and crumbled blue cheese
- Using a pairing knife, cut 12 strips into the left and right thirds of the dough
- Alternate folding strips over filling, overlapping as you go
- Trim the last strips if necessary
- Brush with beaten egg
- Bake at 375 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown

Does this recipe use both sheets of puff pastry, in other words, two braided appetizers? Thanks
