Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions.
Place the puff pastry on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Slice the puff pastry in half and then in sections about 2 inches wide
Place the ingredients on the puff party.
Fold the edges so they meet and wrap around the ingredients.
Flip the puff pastry bites over so the folded side is down.
Brush the top of each one with olive oil.
Sprinkle with cheese — parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese.

Preheat oven to 400° F.
Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
