Ingredients
  

For the Twists
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Thawed for easy rolling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Can substitute with Neufchâtel for a lighter option
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese Monterey Jack can be used for a milder flavor
  • 1/2 cup Sliced Jalapenos Use fresh for heat or pickled for tang
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be used in moderation
  • 1 large Egg Can substitute with plant-based milk for a vegan option

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry Brush
  • Knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into strips approximately 2 inches wide.
  4. Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each pastry strip, fold it over, and pinch the edges to seal. Twist the ends to shape.
  5. Beat the egg and use it to coat the tops of each twist for a golden finish.
  6. Bake the twists for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
