Cheesy Parmesan and Spinach Puff Pastry Twists

by

These Parmesan and Spinach Cheese Twists are a delightful combination of flaky puff pastry, melted cheese, and fresh spinach, creating a perfect bite-sized snack or appetizer. The cheese, both sharp Parmesan and melty mozzarella, pairs wonderfully with the earthy spinach, making each twist as flavorful as it is crispy. The golden, buttery finish of the puff pastry gives it a satisfying crunch with every bite.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Brush the puff pastry with a thin layer of olive oil. Then, evenly spread the spinach and cheese mixture over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Carefully fold the pastry sheet in half, sealing the edges gently.
  6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch strips.
  7. Twist each strip several times to form spirals and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the egg wash over the twists for a golden, shiny finish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed, golden, and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
