Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

8 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled into small pieces

1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup green onions, finely chopped (optional)

Sea salt, to taste

All-purpose flour, for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Puff Pastry: Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and use a rolling pin to gently roll it out, making it slightly larger and smoother. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

      Make the Cheese Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chopped green onions (if you're using them). Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

        Assemble the Twists: Take two strips of the puff pastry and twist them together to create a spiraled shape. Pinch the ends tightly to seal. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling into the center of the twist. Place the twist on the prepared baking sheet and repeat this process with the remaining strips and cheese filling.

          Brush with Egg Wash: Once all the twists are on the baking sheet, use a pastry brush to coat the tops with the beaten egg. This step will ensure that the twists develop a beautiful golden glaze while baking.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists have puffed up and turned a delightful golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the twists from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Serve warm for the ultimate cheesy experience, perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own!
