Corned Beef Palmiers

Corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese are rolled up in puff pastry to create delicious Corned Beef Palmiers. These tasty treats are not only ideal for St. Patrick’s Day, but they also make excellent appetizers and party snacks throughout the year. Plus, they pair wonderfully with a nice cold beer!

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 eat material!

Recipe highlights:

• Roll out puff pastry sheet on a parchment paper-lined work surface. 
• Layer 1/3 of the shredded Swiss cheese onto puff pastry.
• Layer the filling ingredients in the following order: corned beef, sauerkraut, and the remaining cheese.
• Roll the two longer sides of the puff pastry into logs, meeting at the center. 
• Wrap plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut into 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick slices and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the sides of the palmiers with a beaten egg.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes at 375° F.
• Refer to the recipe card below for detailed instructions and tips.

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 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.

Recommended supplies:

• 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 reduce the likelihood of butter melting, which results in flakier crusts.
