How to Make Delicious Jalapeno Popper Twists
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a floured surface until it reaches about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips approximately 2 inches wide.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesy filling onto one half of each pastry strip. Fold and twist each strip gently.
  5. Arrange the twisted bites on your prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with egg wash.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
