Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches in size.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Brush a thin layer of the egg wash evenly over the surface of the puff pastry.
Step 5
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over half of the pastry (lengthwise).
Step 6
Fold the other half of the pastry over the cheese-covered section to create a smaller rectangle. Gently press down to seal.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch wide strips (you should get about 10-12 strips).
Step 8
Carefully pick up each strip, twist it several times, and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave at least 1 inch of space between each twist.
Step 9
Brush the tops of the twists with more of the egg wash to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden.
Step 11
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the twists to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
