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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry onto a floured surface and let sit for 10 mins. While it rests, grate the cheese.
  3. Sprinkle most of the cheese over the bottom half of the pastry sheet and then fold it in half.
  4. Use a rolling pin to roll the pastry out to about 3mm thickness.
  5. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top of the pastry and cut it into even strips – about an inch wide.
  6. Grab the top and bottom of each strip and twist!
  7. 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!
