Parmesan and Spinach Cheese Twists

Healthy Fact of the Day

Spinach provides iron, folate, and vitamins A and K that support energy and bone health. Using puff pastry in moderation lets you enjoy flaky, satisfying textures while getting nutrients from the leafy greens.

These Parmesan and Spinach Cheese Twists bring elegance to your Monday Munchies with their flaky puff pastry spirals and savory filling. They’re twisted to perfection and baked until golden—ideal for appetizer platters, lunch boxes, or when you need a sophisticated snack that’s surprisingly simple to make.

If you love these cheesy, savory flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels with their creamy, tangy filling and similar twisted presentation.

    Ingredients

    • 1 sheet puff pastry

    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • 1 cup fresh spinach

    • 1 large egg

    • 1 tbsp olive oil

    • 1 tsp black pepper

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
    • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and even, then brush with olive oil.
    • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the puff pastry, ensuring a generous coating for flavor.
    • Chop the fresh spinach finely and scatter it over the cheese layer, pressing gently to adhere.
    • Fold the pastry in half, sandwiching the filling, and cut into strips approximately 1-inch wide.
    • Twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
    • Beat the egg and brush over the twists to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.
    • Season with black pepper before baking in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
