Jalapeno Popper Puff Pastry Twists

Jalapeño Popper Puff Pastry Twists are a crispy, creamy, cheesy snack with just the right amount of kick. They take everything you love about jalapeño poppers – the spicy peppers, the rich cream cheese, the melted cheddar – and wrap it all up in buttery, golden puff pastry.

These are perfect for game day or any time you want a finger food with a little flair. They come together fast, look great on a platter, and are easy to grab and eat. Plus, they hit that savory, spicy, creamy combo that’s always a crowd-pleaser.

Helpful Tips

• Use softened cream cheese so it’s easy to spread onto the pastry and mixes well with the cheddar and diced jalapeños.
• Don’t overfill the twists. A thin layer of filling is all you need to keep them neat and prevent leaks.
• Seal the edges well and twist tightly so they hold their shape while baking and stay crispy.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust lightly with flour.
• Unroll the puff pastry sheet and roll it out to about ¼” thick.
• Spread the softened cream cheese over half of the puff pastry sheet, then add on the jalapeno slices, half of the cheese, and the bacon.
• Fold the other half over the top and press together to sandwich it together firmly.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into ½” thick strips. Twist each strip and place them spaced out on the baking sheet.
• Brush them each with the beaten egg, then sprinkle on the remaining cheddar.
• Place the sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown.
• Serve with Ranch dressing or another dipping sauce of your choice.
