Description

Savory Cheese and Herb Puff Pastry Twists are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. These golden, crispy twists combine the rich flavors of cheddar and Parmesan cheeses with aromatic garlic and oregano, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or any time you crave a cheesy, herb-infused treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth and slightly enlarge it.
  3. Add Cheese and Herbs: Evenly sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and dried oregano over half of the puff pastry sheet.
  4. Fold and Seal: Fold the pastry over the cheese and herb mixture, pressing gently along the edges to seal the layers and prevent filling from spilling out during baking.
  5. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded pastry into thin strips. Take each strip and twist it a few times to create the signature shape.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Place the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each twist with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden shine once baked.
  7. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed, golden brown, and crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory pastry twists warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure your puff pastry is properly thawed if using frozen to prevent tearing during rolling.
  • You can substitute cheddar with other cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for different flavors.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
  • Twist the strips gently to avoid breaking the pastry.
  • Serve these twists as appetizers, snacks, or with soups and salads for a delightful crunch.
