Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Unfold the thawed sheets of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth the creases and roll out the pastry slightly.
- Pour half of the melted butter onto each puff pastry sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle garlic salt, cheddar, and parmesan over each sheet accordingly.
- Cut the pastry into 3/4-inch wide strips using a pizza cutter. Carefully twist each strip and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the twisted pastry strips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are puffed and lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley or basil to the cheese mixture.
You can substitute the cheeses with your favorites, such as mozzarella or gouda, for a different taste.
Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed for optimal flakiness.
