With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, these savory palmiers are the perfect addition to the celebration menu. They are made with flaky puff pastry, store bought corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. The combination of salty, briny, and sour along with the mild and nutty flavor of the cheese is fantastic! Oh yeah, it’s the kind of food that goes amazingly well with beer. I’m not a beer drinker, but when I eat this, I just want to grab a cold one to enjoy with it.


Deli corned beef is used in this recipe, but leftover corned beef can certainly be used. Who wouldn’t like to enjoy these palmiers after the holiday as well? I’m addicted to them and certainly won’t wait until next St. Patrick’s Day to partake again. These palmiers are simply delicious party foods that will be a crowd pleaser no matter the occasion…they are definitely game day eats material!

What to serve with these palmiers:

They are flavorful and delicious alone. Of course, it’s always more fun when there’s dipping sauce involved. Russian dressing, Thousand Island dressing, or Dijon mustard are all great options. Make your own dressing from scratch if you like, but store bought is fine with me.

Can these be made ahead?

Yes. They can be baked and kept refrigerated for a 2-3 days or frozen for longer until ready to use. To reheat, bake at 350° F on a greased baking sheet for 5 minutes or until hot. Frozen palmiers can be reheated straight from the freezer. They take a minute longer than refrigerated ones to reheat.

  • Baking sheet—this is non-stick and warp resistant. I have this and have been happy with it.
  • Parchment paper helps keep pastry dough from sticking.
  • These silicone pastry brushes are perfect for applying the beaten egg onto the palmiers.
  • A serrated knife cuts through the unbaked palmier roll without pinching the ends together.
  • Rolling pin—the benefit of this marble rolling pin is its ability to stay cold longer than wooden ones. Just chill in the refrigerator or freezer before use. The cold rolling pins reduces the likelihood of butter melting, which results in flakier crusts.
