Herb twists

Herb twists are a delightful and easy-to-make snack or appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. With puff pastry, a delicious spice mix, and a hint of parmesan cheese, these twists deliver a burst of flavor in every bite. Follow this simple recipe to create a tasty treat that your family and friends will love.

Ingredients:

4 sheets puff pastry
1000g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
1/3 cup spice mix
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If the pastry sheets are too stiff, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
3. Make Egg Wash: In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until the yolk and white are combined. This will be used to help the spices and cheese adhere to the pastry and to give a golden finish.
4. Brush with Egg Wash: Lightly brush each sheet of puff pastry with the egg wash, covering the entire surface. Ensure an even coat for best results.
5. Sprinkle with Cheese and Spice Mix: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and your spice mix over the egg-washed surface of each puff pastry sheet. Be generous to ensure flavorful twists.
6. Fold and Cut: Fold each puff pastry sheet in half to enclose the cheese and spice mix. Use a rolling pin gently to press the layers together without squashing them. Cut the folded pastry into strips, about 1 to 1.5 cm wide, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
7. Form Twists: Carefully hold each strip at both ends and twist them in opposite directions to create a spiral shape. Place each twisted strip on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each twist for expansion during baking.
8. Final Egg Wash: Brush the top of each twist with a bit more egg wash for a glossy finish.
9. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed properly before you start to make it easier to work with.

- For added flavor, consider making your own spice mix with your favorite herbs and spices.

- Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash evenly for a beautiful golden-brown finish.

- If the twists start to unfold while baking, press them back together gently as soon as they come out of the oven.

There you have it - a quick and delicious recipe for herb twists that are sure to impress. With minimal ingredients and effort, you can create a flavorful snack that's perfect for any gathering. Enjoy your herb twists warm from the oven, and watch them disappear in no time!
