Roquefort puff pastry twists are a classic aperitif snack from the Auvergne region of France — golden, flaky and intensely savoury. They come together in under 20 minutes and disappear even faster at any gathering!
Ingredients (makes about 20 twists)
- 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry
- 100 g Roquefort cheese (or any blue cheese), crumbled
- 50 g walnut pieces (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread the crumbled Roquefort evenly over one half of the pastry. Scatter over the walnuts if using. Season with black pepper.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to enclose it, pressing lightly to seal.
- Cut into strips about 1.5 cm wide. Twist each strip gently a few times.
- Place on the baking tray. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed, golden and crispy.
- Cool slightly before serving — the filling will be very hot!
Bon appétit! 🧀🥐🇫🇷
