Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheets into rectangles about 12x10 inches each.

Step 3

Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash, then brush a thin layer over one puff pastry sheet.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle an even layer of the cheese mixture over the brushed puff pastry, pressing down gently to help it stick.

Step 6

Lay the second puff pastry sheet on top of the cheese-covered sheet and gently press down to adhere.

Step 7

Use a rolling pin to lightly roll the stacked sheets, ensuring the cheese mixture sticks well between the layers.

Step 8

Brush the top layer of the second puff pastry sheet with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 10

Carefully twist each strip several times and place it on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each twist.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the twists cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy Cody's Twisters as a delicious snack or appetizer!
