Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it’s smooth and even.
In a bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Fold the other half of the puff pastry sheet over the cheese mixture, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the filled puff pastry into 1-inch-wide strips, keeping them sealed.
Gently twist each strip and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the twists with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Zippedy Doo Dahs warm or at room temperature!
