Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeno Popper Twists
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Mix until fully blended and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until about ¼ inch thick. Slice into 2-inch wide strips.
  4. Take one pastry strip, spoon a generous amount of filling onto one half, fold over and seal edges. Twist to create a spiraled shape. Repeat for all strips.
  5. Place the twisted pastries on the baking sheet. Beat an egg and brush it over each twist. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
