Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180°C).
- Roll out a sheet of puff pastry and spread the pesto evenly over it, leaving a small amount of room at the edges. Sprinkle over the mozzarella and place another sheet of puff pastry on top, making a sandwich.
- Cut into thin strips with a sharp knife. Grab both ends of each strip, press down firmly to seal the edges and twist.
- Transfer onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, and brush with beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the parmesan.
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Enjoy!

Wonderful and easy! Make sure you put space in between the strips on the pan so that the puff pastry has space to expand!

I used marina instead of pesto and they turned out great!

Be careful! They puff up way too much, and they are a bit on the dry side, but overall, it is delicious.

I made half pesto and half marinara. I noticed that the pesto ones tasted better. Twisting the pastry with the ingredients in tact was my actual nightmare. It was so hard to twist them right without all them all pouring out of the sides, but it turns out that it’s a very forgiving recipe and the twists looked beautiful! Great stuff! I would make again!
