**1. Baked Three Cheese Twists:**
Prepare the traditional Three Cheese Twists by preheating your oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and butter in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add sour cream and water until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough, spread the cheese filling, and cut into strips. Bake until golden brown and enjoy the classic crispy, cheesy twists.

**2. Air Fryer Three Cheese Twists:**
Experience a healthier version of Three Cheese Twists with the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Follow the same steps as the baked version to prepare the dough, filling, and shaping. Instead of baking, place the twists in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Enjoy a guilt-free indulgence with these air-fried twists.

**3. No-Yeast Three Cheese Twists:**
For a quick and easy option, try the no-yeast Three Cheese Twists. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and cream cheese in a food processor until crumbs form. Add milk and mix until the dough just comes together. Roll out the dough, spread the cheese filling, and cut into strips. Bake until golden brown and relish the flavor-packed twists without the hassle of waiting for the dough to rise.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup whole milk
Store-bought puff pastry, rolled into 1 (12 by 20-inch) rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch salt
Pinch finely ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the egg wash: Combine the yolks, whole egg, and milk in a small mixing bowl and whip with a hand whisk until well combined. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Flour the dough and table as needed to keep the dough from sticking to the table or the rolling pin. Place the dough on your work surface with a long side facing you. Use a pastry brush to coat the surface of the rectangle with some egg wash. Liberally sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the rectangle, followed by the salt and pepper. Use a sharp paring knife to cut the rectangle into 1-inch-wide strips from top to bottom. Flip each strip so that the cheese is on the bottom. Twist each strip by rolling each end in opposite directions. Always remember to twist so that the topping faces out --that way you can see how they are flavored. Place the strips on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet and bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving. These puff pastry items are best eaten the day they are made.
