Pesto Elephant Ears

24 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

1 Pkg. Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets, (17.3 Oz. Pkg.)
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Water
3 Tablespoons Prepared Pesto Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

"Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix egg and water.

Unfold 1 pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Spread half the pesto evenly on pastry. Starting at short sides, fold pastry toward center, leaving 1/4"" space in center. Fold one side over the other, making a 4- layer rectangle. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and pesto.

Cut each rectangle into 12 (3/4"") slices. Place cut-side down 2"" apart on baking sheet. Brush with egg mixture.

Bake 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm. Makes 24 appetizers.
