Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (about 2 sheets) puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup, grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly flour a clean work surface with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.
Unroll or unfold the puff pastry sheets onto the floured surface.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash.
Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over one side of each puff pastry sheet.
Evenly sprinkle the grated cheddar and parmesan cheese over the egg-washed side of the pastry. Add black pepper and smoked paprika evenly on top.
Gently press the cheese and seasonings into the pastry with the rolling pin to ensure they adhere.
Cut each sheet into 12 strips (about 1 inch wide).
Carefully twist each strip several times and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each twist.
Brush the top of each twist with the remaining egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful snack or appetizer.
