Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before you begin baking.
- Line two baking trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and beat it well to create a smooth egg wash. Set it aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, lay out the puff pastry sheets. Make sure the sheets are at room temperature for easier handling.
- Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each sheet to ensure they are even and slightly thinner.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the surface of each puff pastry sheet with the beaten egg. This will help the Parmesan cheese stick and provide a glossy finish when baked.
- Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the entire surface of each egg-washed puff pastry sheet. Make sure to distribute the cheese as evenly as possible for consistent flavor.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry sheets into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
- Take each strip and gently twist it several times to create the classic pastry twist shape.
- Place the twisted strips onto the lined baking trays, ensuring there is enough space between each twist for them to puff up while baking.
- Place the baking trays in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry twists are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and allow the pastry twists to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These Jarlsberg Pastry Twists are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to your favorite soup or salad.
