Steps:
- Roll out the pastry to a 24 x 26cm rectangle. Brush with a little egg and place 4 spaced-out rows of anchovies over the pastry, parallel to the longest sides. Sprinkle the Parmesan between the rows.
- Roll up the pastry from each long side to meet in the middle, brushing with a little egg to help it stick. Using a very sharp knife, cut into thin slices. Place slices a little apart on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Chill for at least 30 mins, or cover with cling film and chill for up to 24 hrs.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 12-15 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden.

ANCHOVY PUFFS
Yield Makes about 24 anchovy puffs plus scraps
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- In a small bowl with a fork mash anchovies with mayonnaise. On a lightly floured surface roll out both sheets of pastry into 14-inch squares and trim edges to form 13-inch squares. Brush off excess flour and spread anchovy mayonnaise evenly over 1 pastry sheet. Cover with remaining pastry sheet and press sheets together gently.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- With a 3- to 4-inch decorative cutter, such as a fish, cut pastry into shapes. Reserve scraps and cut into bite-size pieces to bake separately. (To eliminate scraps forego decorative shapes altogether and simply cut pastry into squares.)
- Arrange pastries on lightly greased baking sheets and brush tops with egg wash. With the edge of a cookie cutter or the back of a sharp knife score fish. Bake pastries in oven until puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh anchovies: Fresh anchovies have a more delicate flavor and are less likely to be bitter. If you can't find fresh anchovies, you can use jarred anchovies, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Don't overcook the anchovies: Anchovies are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and flaky.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: The quality of the puff pastry will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a puff pastry that is made with butter and has a high fat content.
- Chill the puff pastry before baking: Chilling the puff pastry before baking will help it to rise more evenly.
- Brush the rolls with egg wash before baking: Egg wash will give the rolls a golden brown color and a shiny finish.
Conclusion:
Anchovy puff pastry rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give anchovy puff pastry rolls a try.
