These Cheesy Herb Puff Pastry Twists are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer, perfect for any gathering or as a snack.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Ensure the puff pastry is pliable but still cold to the touch for easy handling.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Use a fork or small whisk to combine the egg and water thoroughly.
In another bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and dried oregano leaves.
Combine the ingredients evenly to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 14x10 inches.
Lightly flour your rolling pin to prevent sticking.
Cut the pastry in half lengthwise to create two rectangles.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean edges.
Brush both rectangles with the egg wash.
Apply the egg wash evenly for a golden finish.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over one rectangle.
Spread the mixture to cover the surface completely for maximum flavor.
Place the second rectangle on top of the cheese-covered one, egg wash side down.
Press gently to adhere the layers together.
Roll gently with a rolling pin to seal the layers.
Avoid pressing too hard to maintain the puff pastry's flakiness.
Cut crosswise into 28 strips, each about 1/2 inch wide.
Cut evenly to ensure uniform baking.
Twist each strip and place them 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
Twisting adds a decorative touch and helps the layers bake evenly.
Brush the twists with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
The black pepper adds a subtle kick to the flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the twists to prevent over-baking.
Serve the twists warm or at room temperature.
Arrange them on a platter for an appealing presentation.
