Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff Pastry Sheets (thawed)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 4 oz Canned Green Chiles (diced, drained)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Unroll one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangle, maintaining even thickness.
Spread half of the cheese and chile mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting at one long edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining cheese mixture.
Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up for easy slicing.
While the pastry chills, whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make an egg wash.
Remove the logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/2-inch thick spirals using a sharp knife.
Place the spirals cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Brush the tops of each spiral lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the spirals to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
