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 large mixing bowl, blend together softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry or pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thick and slice into 2-inch wide strips.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the filling on one half of each pastry strip and fold the other half over to seal.
  5. Twist the filled strips starting from one end to form spirals and place on the baking sheet.
  6. Beat an egg and brush the tops of each twist for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before serving with ranch or sriracha mayo.
