Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth the edges.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme leaves, and garlic powder until well combined.
Brush one puff pastry sheet lightly with water to help the cheese mixture stick. Spread half of the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the sheet.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top and press down gently to seal the layers.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 12 equal strips of about 1 inch in width.
Pick up each strip, twist it gently several times, and set it on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each twist.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the twists to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow the Herb Cheese Twists to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these flaky, cheesy delights warm or at room temperature!
