Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prepares your baking surface for the pastry twists.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the softened cream cheese over the entire surface of the pastry.
- Arrange the sliced jalapenos in a single layer over the cream cheese. Gently press them down to ensure they adhere to the cream cheese.
- Carefully fold the puff pastry in half lengthwise. Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Take each strip and gently twist it several times, then place it on the baking sheet. Repeat this process for all the pastry strips.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Allow the jalapeno popper twists to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little garlic powder or shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese before adding the jalapenos. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your spice preference; remove all seeds and membranes for a milder twist. These twists are best served warm but can be reheated in a toaster oven for a few minutes.
