puff pastry twists

We didn't all make this one together, but it was so good I felt like I had to share. Maybe this opens us up to things Amy and Jonah have made on their own too :)

For the Thanksgiving holiday I was welcomed into my friend Vanessa's home. Just as last year, I wanted to make her family something to show my appreciation. This year it was some puff pastry twists I had dreamt up. It's so simple that I feel like Tastemade or some other social media food video outlet would totally pick it up.

First, the flavor combinations: balsamic caramelized onion jam, goat cheese, and candied pecans. Any other combination of tart, savory, and sweet would work. I laid out the puff pastry dough and sprinkled the ingredients on.



Then, using a pizza cutter, I sliced the puff pastry into strips. Then I twisted each strip away at a 45 degree angle to form rod shapes that had all of the topping inside. The rod-twists were then laid on a buttered pan, covered in egg wash, and put into a 400 degree oven.



As soon as they browned I took them out. The bottoms were slightly burnt, but the result was a sweet savory tangy and crunchy snack.
