600 g (21.16 oz) puff pastry
300 g (10.6 oz) cream cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
200 g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
100 g (3.5 oz) pressed cheese, grated

4 egg yolks
100 g (3.5 oz) melted butter
20 ml (0.7 fl oz) lemon juice
50 ml (⅕ cup) milk
2 g (0.07 oz) hot paprika
Directions:
1. Make the puff pastry rolls: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Roll out the puff pastry and cut into rectangles. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic, feta, grated pressed cheese and parsley until well combined.
