# Required Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 - 17.6 oz ready-made puff pastry (2 sheets)
→ Filling
02 - 7 oz cream cheese
03 - 3.5 oz grated Gruyère cheese
04 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
05 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
06 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
07 - 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
08 - 1 small zucchini, finely diced
09 - 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
10 - 1 tbsp milk

# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Gruyère, chives, parsley, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
03 - Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 6 rectangles, yielding 12 total.
04 - Place about one heaping tablespoon of filling along the long edge of each rectangle, then roll up tightly and pinch the seams to seal.
05 - Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a circle on the baking tray, overlapping slightly to create a crown shape.
06 - Mix egg yolk and milk, then brush this mixture over the rolls to ensure a golden crust.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
08 - Allow the baked crown to cool for 5 minutes before serving, perfect for guests to pull apart and enjoy.
