These twists are like the overachieving cousin of plain breadsticks bringing all the buttery vibes, sharp cheese flavors, and snackable energy you didn't know you needed. A killer cheese twists recipe starts with puff pastry (aka the shortcut to snack stardom) and loads of cheese. Go for a sharp cheddar if you're feeling classic, or mix it up with Parmesan, Gruyère, or even a spicy jalapeño jack for a little flair. Sprinkle on some garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs to make it fancy without the extra effort. Twist ‘em up, pop ‘em in the oven, and prepare to fill your kitchen with the kind of aroma that makes neighbors “accidentally” drop by. The best part? These cheese twists are wildly versatile. Serve them at a party for some instant finger-food cred, dunk them in marinara or ranch for the ultimate snack duo, or pair them with soup or salad to add a little crunch to your lunch. Bonus points: they're freezer-friendly, so you can bake a batch, save a stash, and always be snack-prepped.

Cooking steps for Cheese Twists

  1. 1
    Alright, cheese lovers, it's time to crank up the deliciousness with these buttery, flaky cheese twists the perfect mix of golden, cheesy goodness and crispy, snackable vibes.
  2. 2
    This cheese twists recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat, so grab your ingredients and let's twist and shout (in the kitchen, obviously).
  3. 3
    First, preheat your oven to 200 C (or 400 F for my non-metric pals) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  4. 4
    In a bowl, toss together 150 g plain flour and 75 g salted butter, cutting the butter into the flour until the mix looks like coarse crumbs think beach sand but edible and way tastier.
  5. 5
    Keep the butter cold for those flaky layers we're aiming for. Next, crack 1 egg into a separate bowl, add 1 tablespoon milk, and whisk it like your weekend brunch depends on it. Pour the egg-milk combo into the flour mix and gently bring it all together into a soft dough. Don't overmix; we're going for delicate, not dense.
  6. 6
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 5 mm thick.
  7. 7
    Now comes the star of the show—sprinkle 100 g grated cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese over half the dough like you're making it rain cheese (the dream, honestly).
  8. 8
    Fold the other half of the dough over the cheesy layer, sandwiching it in, and roll lightly to seal the deal. Cut the dough into strips about 1 cm wide and give each strip a playful twist—you're basically making tiny cheese spirals that are almost too cute to eat (almost). Lay your twists on the baking sheet, leaving a little room between them for puffing magic.
  9. 9
    Brush the tops with any leftover egg wash to get that Insta-worthy golden finish. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until your kitchen smells like a cheese factory and the twists are crisp, golden, and begging to be devoured.
  10. 10
    Cool them for a hot second before diving in—just enough so you don't burn your fingers.
  11. 11
    And boom! Your recipe of cheese twists is ready to steal the show at snack time, party spreads, or as a solo treat-yourself moment. Cheesy, crispy, and totally irresistible—get ready for repeat requests because these twists are iconic!

FAQs

What are cheese twists, and how are they typically made?

Cheese twists are a crispy, savory snack made from puff pastry twisted with cheese and sometimes herbs or spices. To prepare them, roll out puff pastry, sprinkle it with shredded cheese (like cheddar or Parmesan), and optionally add seasonings such as paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs. Cut the pastry into strips, twist them, and bake until golden and flaky.

Can cheese twists be customized with different ingredients?

Why not? This recipe of cheese twists is quite versatile. You can experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyère, mozzarella, or blue cheese, for unique flavors. Add sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or chili flakes for extra crunch and spice. For a sweet twist, substitute cheese with cinnamon and sugar. Vegan versions can be made using dairy-free puff pastry and plant-based cheese.

How should I store cheese twists, and can they be reheated?

To keep cheese twists fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat in an oven at 350 F (175 C) for a few minutes to restore their crispiness. Cheese twists can also be frozen for up to a month and reheated directly from frozen for a quick, delicious snack.
