A gluten-free twist on classic jalapeno poppers, wrapped in flaky pastry and bursting with cheese and spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 225 g cream cheese, softened
  • 100 g shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack
  • 60 g sliced jalapenos, fresh or pickled
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Cut into strips approximately 5 cm wide.
  6. Place a generous spoonful of cheese filling onto one half of each pastry strip.

  8. Arrange the twists on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with beaten egg to promote even browning.
