Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix cheddar, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheet. Brush with beaten egg mixture (egg + water).
- Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over half of the pastry sheet. Fold the other half over to cover the cheese, pressing gently.
- Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. Twist each strip and place on prepared baking sheet, pressing ends down slightly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Tips
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in oven to crisp.
- Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
