Jalapeño Cheese Puff Pastry Twists
Crispy, golden puff pastry twists filled with sharp cheddar and spicy jalapeños — perfect for parties, snacks, or dipping!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour your work surface and lay out the puff pastry sheets. Sprinkle shredded cheese over one sheet, then evenly place sliced jalapeños on top.
- Place the second pastry sheet over the top like a sandwich. Gently press down to seal, then use a rolling pin to lightly press the layers together.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip several times and lay them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the twists with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder over the cheese before twisting.
- Chill the twists before baking to help them hold their shape.
- Pair with cool dips like ranch or sour cream for contrast.
