Recipe by becky

  • Total Time50 minutes
  • Yield15 twists 1x

Easy puff pastry cheese twists made with grated cheddar cheese, and sticky, salty Marmite.  The best cheese and Marmite puff pastry recipe!

Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions if frozen
35 grams Marmite (1 1/4 ounces; about 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons)
115 grams cheddar cheese, grated on a box grater (4 ounces; about 1 cup, packed)
1 large egg, lightly beaten


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F / 205° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed tray with a silicone baking mat and set aside until ready to use.

Unroll puff pastry on a silicone rolling mat or lightly floured countertop. Use a rolling pin to make the pastry a few inches wider, or a sharp knife to trim away any excess, until you have a rectangle that is about 9 1/2 x 11 inches in size. Position the rectangle with the longer side facing you.

Measure the Marmite into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high for 15 seconds, or until slightly runny and bubbly on top. Stir.

With a flexible rubber spatula or small palette knife, spread the Marmite over the pastry, covering the entire surface in a very thin layer.

Fold the rectangle in half, bringing the longer back edge forward to meet the edge closest to you. You will now have a 4 3/4 x 11-inch rectangle. With your fingertips, gently pat down the pastry.
