Ingredients: 1 egg 2 teaspoons water 1 sheet puff pastry dough from a 17.3-oz. package, thawed 1 teaspoon seasoned black pepper, to taste (or seasoning of your choice) sprigs of rosemary and parsley (or any fresh or dried herbs that you like) about 4 varied types of cheese, presented in an interesting configuration (I used packaged pimiento cheese, muenster cheese, mozzarella medallions, and Dutch cheese with cumin seed.) In a small bowl, place 1 egg and 2 teaspoons water and beat well. Set aside. Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry and place it in an ungreased shallow baking pan. Brush the top side with egg mixture. Cut 4 (1/2-inch-wide) strips from the pastry, cutting parallel to the seam of the pastry. (I cut 2 from each side for symmetry.) Remove the 4 strips and place them along the edge of the puff pastry, trimming ends. With a fork, prick the bottom of the pastry, allowing steam to escape as the pastry cooks. Sprinkle the bottom of the pastry with 1 teaspoon seasoned black pepper or other seasoning of your choice. Gently press fresh rosemary and parsley sprigs into the bottom to make an artistic design.
