Crispy, cheesy, and packed with savory goodness, Pastrami Yum Yums are the ultimate crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer! These golden twists of flaky puff pastry are layered with tangy Dijon mustard, tender slices of pastrami, and gooey Swiss cheese for a flavor-packed bite in every twist. Perfectly seasoned with a sprinkle of optional poppy seeds and brushed with an egg wash for a bakery-style finish, these easy-to-make pastries are ready in just 45 minutes, making them ideal for game days, parties, or an indulgent afternoon treat. Whether served warm or at room temperature, Pastrami Yum Yums are guaranteed to disappear as quickly as they hit the table.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly across the surface.
Layer half of the sliced pastrami evenly over the mustard, followed by 3 slices of Swiss cheese.
Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and carefully place it on top of the layered ingredients. Press the edges together to seal.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip gently and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between strips for expansion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush it over each pastry twist for a golden finish.
Sprinkle poppy seeds over the top of the twists if desired for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Pastrami Yum Yums!
