Irresistible spicy jalapeo popper twists This easy cheesy appetizer recipe features a flaky crust filled with cream cheese and jalapeos Perfect party snack

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 23 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Everything bagel seasoning or coarse salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rough 10×12 inch rectangle. Spread the cheesy jalapeño mixture evenly over one half of the pastry sheet.
  • Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling. Press the edges down firmly to seal. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch strips. Carefully grab each strip by the ends and give it a few twists.
  • Place the twists on your prepared baking sheet, brush them with the beaten egg, and sprinkle generously with your chosen seasoning. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they’re puffed up and gorgeous golden brown.

Notes

A simple and irresistible party snack featuring a creamy, spicy jalapeno and cheese filling wrapped in flaky puff pastry twists.
