These crispy cheese twists are a fantastic appetizer or snack option that is quick to make and absolutely delicious. Made with just a few ingredients, these twists are perfect for parties, game nights, or even as a savory treat for yourself. The combination of buttery puff pastry and melted cheese creates a heavenly snack that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll it out slightly to even it out.
  4. Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the puff pastry, pressing it down lightly to adhere.
  6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
  7. Hold both ends of a strip and twist it a few times to create a spiral shape, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strips.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese twists are golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!

Interesting Facts
