The flaky, buttery nature of puff pastry makes it an excellent base for a variety of savoury ingredients. It can be filled, topped, or twisted with ingredients such as cheeses, meats, vegetables, and herbs to create delicious appetizers, snacks, or main dishes.
What is puff pastry
Puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, is a light, flaky, and buttery pastry dough. It is made from a laminated dough, which involves layering dough with butter and repeatedly folding and rolling it out. The process creates many thin layers of dough separated by layers of butter. When baked, the water in the butter turns to steam, causing the dough to puff up and separate into delicate, crisp layers. They are bakery staples.

- Preheat The Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare The Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Gently roll it out and and make a cut in the middle. If using 2 sheets then no need to cut.

- Brush the surface of the puff pastry with cream cheese in one single layer.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the puff pastry.

- Cut Strips: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the folded pastry into strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
