Cheddar and Jalapeño Spirals
This isn’t really a recipe, it’s just a quick variation to an older snack recipe I posted about two years ago: my simple Parmesan Twists. I usually prepare a whole batch of these because they’re not only delicious but especially simple and rather cheap. I posted my Cheese & Onion Butterflies the year after.
I was craving a snack. Something. Anything. The only thing in my freezer were a few lonesome puff pastry sheets and a piece of cheddar, so I figured I use the twist idea from the first recipe, use the cheddar from the second recipe and bump the whole thing up with some jalapeños. It worked like a charm.
I didn’t really bother taking ‘official’ intro and end shots, though. Just a quick snapshot. Hope you don’t mind and if you do, too bad, they’re all gone now! *rubs tummy*
Ingredients:
puff pastry sheets
cheddar
jalapeños
1 egg white
paprika powder
Directions:
We start with cheddar. Grated cheddar.
And jalapeños, of course. I used a mix of finely minced red and green.
I used 6 thawed puff pastry sheets.
One lightly beaten egg white.
Now this is really simple.
Brush two puff pastry sheets with egg white, this will function as a glue. Sprinkle some sweet paprika powder on top of both sheets and top one of them with the grated cheddar and jalapeños.
Fold the other one over and flatten it a little with a rolling-pin. Just to push the ingredients into the dough a bit. Slice it in thin strips—mine were a bit thick.
Twist each strip twice to create a spiral. That’s all.
Place them on a baking sheet (I used baking paper) and give them some room. Bake them in a preheated oven at 400F (200C) for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
They were delicious. The jalapeños gave them a wonderful kick without being too much.
Best part? You can experiment with lots of ingredients and/or spices and make a whole bunch of different flavored spirals for New Year’s eve!

I want to rub my tummy too! I want some of this Kay. I love the jalapeno flavors and I can imagine they must pair excellently with the cheddar. Good one Kay.

I can’t wait to try this one! I’m planning a get-together for some of my neighborhood friends after New Year’s and this will be perfect with a glass of nice cold wine. Yum.
These look amazing!
I printed the recipe… this doesn’t make any difference but it’s odd so I thought I’d let you know… it prints perfectly except that the title of the recipe, which printed as Lemon Green Beans. :)
@ Jillian:
Thanks for letting me know. Fixed it!

Mmmm these look beyond tasty!
Simple, and great idea !
Looks really good too ;)
I’m making these today and taking them to our Christmas eve dinner. Then I’m making them and taking them to Christmas day lunch and then I’m making them and …….probably eating the entire batch while enjoying a fire and a cold drink which might or might not contain alcohol. I can’t wait!
Doing these for NY eve :) hope my friends will enjoy this hotness, bcz we are celebrating in sauna :)
These would make for some tasty appetizers!
Planning on giving these a shot tonight, they look awesome!
Just wondering though, puff pastry, is that bladerdeeg? Regular stuff from the freezers at good old AH?
Thanks! ☺
I needed something for a party tomorrow, and these are perfect!!! Just pulled three batches out of the oven. Also, I made two other variations; a roasted red pepper, chicken (with a little parmesan and garlic), and a cinnamon that is being served with a Mexican chocolate sauce. Thanks so much!
