Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the filling by blending cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder until smooth.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick and cut it into strips roughly 2 inches wide.
Spoon the filling onto one half of each pastry strip, then fold the other half over and twist to seal.
Arrange the twists on your prepared baking sheet, and brush the tops with egg wash.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
