Ingredients
2 sheets (one package) all-butter puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
8 ounces softened cream cheese
4 ounces crumbled Feta cheese
1 cup dried cranberries, plumped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon water (for glaze)
2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. Thaw the puff pastry sheets completely while keeping them cold. Preheat your oven to four hundred Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Fold in Feta, plumped cranberries, rosemary, salt, pepper, and orange zest.
3. Unroll one pastry sheet and spread half the filling evenly, leaving a half-inch border. Place the second sheet on top, pressing gently.
4. Cut the stacked rectangle into one-inch wide strips lengthwise. Take two strips and twist them into a rope. Join the ends to form a wreath shape. Repeat with remaining strips.
5. Brush the wreaths generously with the egg wash. Bake at four hundred Fahrenheit for twenty to twenty-five minutes, until deeply golden and puffed.
6. Mix honey and one tablespoon water for the glaze. Brush the warm wreaths with the glaze and sprinkle immediately with chopped pistachios and optional rosemary.
