  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
– 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 large egg (beaten)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)


Instructions

Whipping up Parmesan and Spinach Cheese Twists is easy when you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
3. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet until it is smooth and slightly larger than its original size.
4. Cut Pastry: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips about 1-inch wide.
5. Add Filling: Take a tablespoon of the spinach and cheese filling and place it at one end of each pastry strip.
6. Twist: Starting from the filled end, twist each strip gently to form a spiral shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush with Egg: Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the twists with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
8. Bake: Place the twists in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

You’ll find that each step contributes to the overall success of the dish, making it a breeze to prepare.
