What Are Beef Puff Pastry Twists?
Beef puff pastry twists are simple savory pastries made by layering seasoned ground beef and cheese between sheets of puff pastry, cutting the pastry into strips, and twisting each strip before baking.
The puff pastry becomes beautifully golden and crisp in the oven, while the beef and cheese create a warm, savory center.
They’re somewhere between a savory pastry, a beef-filled cheese stick, and the kind of party snack that mysteriously disappears before everyone gets one.
And honestly? That’s exactly what makes them so good.
