Description
An explosion of cheesy and spicy flavors in a flaky twist!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take your fresh jalapeños and slice them into thin rounds.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the sliced jalapeños and optional bacon bits evenly over the cheese mixture.
- Fold the puff pastry over to encase the filling; press down to seal the edges.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
- Take each strip and twist it gently before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each twist with the beaten egg.
- Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped chives and serve warm.
