Megan, from the Afternoon Tea team, shares her simple cheese twist recipe with us. They’ll satisfy anyone’s cheese craving.
Ingredients:
Makes roughly 10-12 cheese twists.
- 320g pre-rolled puff pastry
- 65g cheddar cheese
- 65g Red Leicester cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs
- A sprinkle of flour
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray.
- Roll out the puff pastry onto a floured surface and let sit for 10 mins. While it rests, grate the cheese.
- Sprinkle most of the cheese over the bottom half of the pastry sheet and then fold it in half.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the pastry out to about 3mm thickness.
- Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top of the pastry and cut it into even strips – about an inch wide.
- Grab the top and bottom of each strip and twist!
- In a bowl, crack an egg, and mix in the garlic powder and mixed herbs. Cover each cheese twist with a light coating of the egg wash and pop in the oven to bake
for 15 minutes.
Megan's top tip: This can easily be made gluten-free by swapping in some gluten-free flour and pastry!
