03 - 3.5 oz grated Gruyère cheese
04 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, Gruyère, chives, parsley, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
03 - Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal rectangles, yielding 12 pieces in total.
04 - Place a heaping tablespoon of filling along the long edge of each rectangle. Roll tightly and pinch seams securely to seal.
05 - Arrange the rolled pastries seam-side down in a circle on the baking tray, slightly overlapping edges to create a crown formation.
06 - Combine egg yolk and milk, then brush evenly over the rolls to promote a golden crust.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving, arranging the crown for guests to pull apart.
