Oven-Baked Cheesy Herb Twists
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Cheese and Herb Mixture
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out each sheet of the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases and to make them slightly thinner.
4. Assemble the Twists
Spoon the cheese and herb mixture evenly over one sheet of puff pastry. Place the second sheet on top, creating a sandwich with the cheese mixture in the middle.
5. Cut and Twist
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Gently twist each strip a few times, holding the ends to keep the filling slightly enclosed. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
6. Egg Wash
Brush each twist with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish once baked.
7. Bake
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Serve
Remove the twists from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving them warm.
