📝 Ingredients
You Only Need:
2 × 400 g puff pastry sheets
3–4 teaspoons mustard (Dijon or grainy works best)
150 g hard mozzarella cheese, grated
Optional additions:
A sprinkle of paprika
A pinch of garlic powder
Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or basil)
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds
🍳 Instructions & Methods
Step 1 — Prepare the Puff Pastry
Thaw the puff pastry if frozen.
Lay one sheet flat on a lightly floured surface.
Spread a thin, even layer of mustard over it.
Step 2 — Add the Cheese
Sprinkle grated mozzarella evenly over the mustard layer.
Add optional herbs or spices for flavor if you like.
Step 3 — Seal & Slice
Place the second sheet of puff pastry directly on top, sandwich-style.
Gently press to seal.
Cut into:
Strips (for twists)
Squares (for bites)
Triangles (for turnovers)
Or spirals (for fancy rolls)
Step 4 — Shape Them
Choose your style:
Twists: Twist each strip 2–3 times.
Bites: Leave the squares as they are.
Swirls: Roll the sheet and slice like pinwheels.
Each shape bakes beautifully.
Step 5 — Bake
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Place pieces on a parchment-lined tray.
Brush lightly with egg wash for shine (optional).
Bake 12–18 minutes, until puffed and golden.
Step 6 — Serve Hot & Watch Them Disappear
Serve immediately—these are best enjoyed warm when the cheese is melty and the pastry is irresistibly crisp.
