Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Puff Pastry Twists
Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Puff Pastry Twists are crisp, flaky, cheesy, and easy to make with puff pastry, seasoned ground beef, white cheese, and egg. They bake quickly into golden, shareable twists that are perfect for game day or snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry Thawed but still cool to the touch
- 1 pound ground beef Crumble small while cooking
- 1 cup white cheese Shredded; such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack
- 1 large egg Beaten well with a fork
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain off any excess grease and let the cooked beef cool for a few minutes until warm but not steaming hot.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it only enough to smooth out the seams.
- Spread the cooled beef evenly over one half of the puff pastry, leaving the other half empty, then sprinkle the shredded white cheese over the beef.
- Fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling and press lightly, then cut the filled pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Twist each strip several times and place the twists on the parchment-lined baking sheet with room between them, then brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the twists are puffed, deep golden brown, and the cheese is melted, then cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Let leftovers cool completely, then store them in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until warmed through and crisp. Avoid the microwave for the best texture. The beef can be browned, drained, and refrigerated a day ahead.
