Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Prepare the dough: Roll out your thawed puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick, then cut it into strips about 2 inches wide.
  4. Fill and twist: Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy filling onto one half of each pastry strip, fold over and twist each strip.
  5. Brush with egg wash: Place the twisted bites on your prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash.
  6. Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

These jalapeno popper twists are best served fresh out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce. Feel free to adjust the heat by using more or fewer jalapenos.
