NOTE: In the video, she doesn’t measure the cheese, she just pours it into the bowl, and it’s way more than 1/4 cup. I probably used 1 1/4 cups. 1/8 inch is way too thin. It’s more like 1/3. And lastly, 20 minutes will give you blackened palmier. I baked mine for 15 minutes, and wouldn’t go a minute more. Just know to check them around 14 to 15 minutes, and take them out when they’re golden brown. And yes, they’re just cheese palmier. If  you want more flavor, try adding herbs (I added about 1 tsp of Mrs. Dash Garlic Herb seasoning).

I combined this with a recipe I already had and made some changes suggested by other reviews. I rolled out the pastry sheet to a 10X14 rectangle, increasing the Italian cheese blend to 1 cup along with the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and reduced the paprika to 1/4 teaspoon because the cooked cheese had an unappealing red color when I used 1 teaspoon. I also added 1 teaspoon garlic powder. I folded it in this way – the long ends over each other like folding a letter and then folded it once more in half. I cut them in 1/4 inch slices, brushed them with the remaining egg wash and baked at 375 for 25 minutes. They are much better than the simple Parmesan cheese Palmiers that I usually make. I don’t feel comfortable giving it 5 stars when I made so many changes to the original recipe.

this was one of the best things i’ve made of hers!! these palmiers were FANTASTIC! i did however add more cheese and i used parm, asaigo, sharp cheddar, mozz, and some italian blend. i also diced up some pancetta and crisped it up and sprinkled it on the dough before rolling it up along with some fresh grated garlic. AMAZING! i’ll be making this over and over again. could not stop eating it. even my 1 yr old son loved it. thanks sandra!

The palmiers were very easy to make — my 6 and 8 year-old daughters did most of the work. They were as delicious as I could have imagined. Would serve as a wonderful appetizer at a party.
Rachel Carr
My family enjoyed them. They were so easy to make and tasted exactly like I imagined they would considering the ingredients. They will make a great appetizer to take to a party. They actually turned out like the picture!

First I must say I was all set to try out this recipe, but then I read the reviews right before I started to prepare them and became a little skeptical. However, knowing that everyone said to cook them a little less than 20min and someone else said they were tasteless I decided to add my on take… i set the timer for about 15min, turned the oven and let them sit for another 17min just to make sure the were brown. I also used double the cheese and parmesean and i probably could have used even more. Everyone in my household from hubby to kids ranging from 14 to 15 months loved them. next time i may even add a cheddar cheese and some cooked pancetta to make it even yummier…and a brush of butter on top with a sprinkle of parmasean on the faces may even work well too!
I cant wait to serve these at a dinner party!

I’ve always been suspicious of the ratings on this website. Most are 4’s or 5’s. Now I know why. They must be written by foodtv employees who have never tried the recipe. I tried this recipe and it was unedible. I had to throw it all in the garbage. The palmiers were so dry you couldn’t swallow a single bite. I had to spit it out. Something is terribly wrong with this recipe.
