Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff Pastry Sheets (thawed)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 4 oz Canned Green Chiles (diced, drained)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Unroll one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangle, maintaining even thickness.

Step 4

Spread half of the cheese and chile mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Starting at one long edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining cheese mixture.

Step 6

Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up for easy slicing.

Step 7

While the pastry chills, whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make an egg wash.

Step 8

Remove the logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/2-inch thick spirals using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Place the spirals cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of each spiral lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Allow the spirals to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
