Delicious puff pastry cheese twists made with just four simple ingredients. A brilliant alternative to sandwiches for lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (320g) puff pastry
- 3 tbsp cheese spread
- 100g grated cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and red leicester cheese)
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200c fan and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry onto a chopping board, keeping it on the paper that it comes in.
- Use a cheese spread like this one and spread it all over the pastry.
- Add the grated cheese to the right hand side of the pastry.
- Fold the lefthand side of the pastry over onto the cheese side. I find it easier to do this by lifting up the paper underneath rather than lifting the pastry itself. Then press down with your hands to stick together.
- Cut the pastry into strips approximately 2cm thick.
- Pinch the top and bottom end of the strips then twist.
- Place the twists on the two baking trays and brush them with a little milk.
- Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
These Cheese Twists will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They won’t stay crispy for that long but you can reheat them in the oven if you like.
The best way to freeze these Cheese Twists is to freeze them before you cook them. Follow all the steps as normal stopping before you add the milk wash. Freeze the twists in a single layer on a tray or plate until hard. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Bake them as normal, adding an extra few minutes to the cooking time.
