Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it’s smooth and even.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.

Step 5

Fold the other half of the puff pastry sheet over the cheese mixture, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the filled puff pastry into 1-inch-wide strips, keeping them sealed.

Step 7

Gently twist each strip and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Brush the twists with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Zippedy Doo Dahs warm or at room temperature!
