I did end up making these for New Years, and though I made them about twice the size, they were pretty identical otherwise. Very good! Of course I doubled the puff pastry, so still have some in the freezer. I also made some little puff pastry roll ups with pears and prosciutto. Rolled out the dough about 12×4, ~1/4 in thick, scattered finely diced pears and finely sliced prosciutto over the top, rolled it up. Refridgerated for about 10 mins (ought to have been longer, but it didn’t hurt any), cut into ~ 3/4 in slices and baked at 400 ~ 15 mins. Serious yummage!

That Bill makes a fine Sidecar. Wish him happy new year for me. (and you too, of course!)

I don’t see why you couldn’t change the cheese. I wanted to replicate a favorite flavor combination but this technique should work with any cheese that melts well. I’ve seen variations with Parmesan, too.

Hey, Aleta – these look great….I wonder if the cheese twists could also be made with mild blue cheese – I was taken with a recipe for savory cookies over the holidays using it – they were great – almost like shortbread with a bite
