Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 cup pesto
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet so that it's about 15x12 inches on a floured work surface.
- Spread ½ cup of the pesto evenly over the puff pastry, you want to make sure it's fully covered.
- Sprinkle half the parmesan cheese over the pesto.
- Cut into 1 inch strips. Fold each strip in half then pick it up and twist it a few times. Place the twists onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about an inch in between them.
- Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheet and remaining pesto and Parmesan cheese.
- Brush each twist with beaten egg.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- I used pesto from a jar. You're free to use your own homemade pesto.
