Roquefort Circles

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 ounces roquefort cheese
1/4 cup minced scallions or chives
1 tablespoon butter
pinch of cayenne pepper
flour for the work surface
2 sheets of frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush a baking sheet with water.

In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and roquefort with the scallions or chives, butter and cayenne. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to 1/8 inch thick. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border on 1 long side. Brush the border with cold water. Roll the sheet jellyroll fashion toward the border, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.

Cut the pastry into 1/4 inch slices and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20
minutes. May be wrapped tightly and frozen, baked or unbaked.
Yields 70 pastries.
