Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets gently to ensure even thickness.
In a small bowl, mix the grated cheddar cheese with the paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush one side of each puff pastry sheet lightly with water to help the cheese adhere.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of one pastry sheet, leaving a small border at the edges.
Place the second pastry sheet on top of the cheese-covered sheet, pressing gently to seal.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 12 even strips, about 1 inch wide.
Take each strip and twist it gently to form spiral shapes, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the spirals lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the spirals are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the Cheddar Spirals to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
