Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed Make sure it's completely thawed for best results.
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef, seasoned and cooled Season to your liking with spices or herbs for extra flavor.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can substitute with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
  • 1 large egg, beaten Used for brushing the tops of the twists.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and gently roll the puff pastry into a rectangle.
Assembly
  1. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over one half of the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the beef.
  3. Fold the empty half of the puff pastry over the filling and gently press the edges together.
  4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into approximately 12 strips.
  5. Carefully twist each strip several times and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. Brush the tops of the twists with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and deeply golden brown.
  2. Let the twists cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, spicy mustard, or marinara sauce. Best eaten fresh, but can store for up to three days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven at 350F (175C) for about 10 minutes to crisp up.
