Cooking Time: 15-20 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Prepare the Dough

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ inch. If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it's completely thawed.

Add the Cheese

Spread a mix of grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over half the pastry. Keep the cheese away from the edges to prevent it from oozing out during baking.

Form the Twists

Fold the puff pastry in half over the cheese. Press down lightly. Cut the pastry into strips, about ½ inch wide. Twist each strip a few times and lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed.

Serve

Allow the Sesame Cheese Twists to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm for optimal flavor.
