These twists are perfect for parties, game nights, or just a tasty treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these cheesy delights in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of both cheeses.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface if they are not pre-rolled.
- Lay one puff pastry sheet flat on the surface.
- In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs thoroughly until the yolk and white are fully combined.
- Brush the first puff pastry sheet with a thin layer of the beaten egg using a pastry brush.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the egg-washed puff pastry sheet.
- Place the second puff pastry sheet directly on top of the cheese-covered one to form a sandwich.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the layered puff pastry into strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
- Take each strip and gently twist it several times to create the twist shape.
- Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Lightly brush the tops of the twists with the remaining beaten egg to give them a golden shine when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the twists cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve the Cheddar Pastry Twists warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions before using them.
- For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the cheese mixture.
- To prevent the twists from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- Brush the twists with a beaten egg before baking to give them a shiny golden brown finish.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for a unique flavor twist.
Your cheddar pastry twists are now ready to be enjoyed! These easy-to-make twists are a crowd-pleaser and can be served alongside dips or enjoyed on their own. The combination of crispy puff pastry and gooey, melted cheese makes for an irresistible snack.
