Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick and slice into 2-inch strips.
  4. Place a spoonful of filling on one side of each pastry strip, fold over and seal the edges. Twist gently to form a spiral.
  5. Arrange twists on the baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
