PISTACHIO, BLUE CHEESE & FIG PUFF PASTRY TWISTS
Cook time: 50 MinTotal time: 50 Min
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 3/4 cup fig preserves
- 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 1/4 cups pistachios, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out both sheets just enough to smooth out the creases (the pastry sheets will only increase in size by about an inch on all sides after rolling out). Beat the egg and water and set the egg wash aside.
- Spread the fig preserve evenly over one pastry sheet. Sprinkle the blue cheese and 3/4 cup of pistachios over the preserves. Lay the second pastry sheet over the top.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pistachios over the egg wash, lightly pressing the nuts into the pastry. Turn the pastry over and repeat with the egg wash and remaining pistachios.
- Cut the pastry across the shortest width into 1/2-inch strips. Twist each strip and lay 1/2-inch apart on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden.
