Ingredients

Jalapeno Popper Filling

Pastry

  • 1 box puff pastry sheets
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Jalapeno Popper Filling

  • In a small frying pan, heat oil over medium heat and add jalapeños. Cook until jalapeños are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Sprinkle in seasonings and beat until mixed well.
  • Add jalapeños, green onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Using a spatula, mix well until fully combined.

Pastry

  • Cut each puff pastry sheet into 16 long strips of pastry.
  • Twist the strip until it forms a braided piece.
  • Place one end of the long, twisted strip down onto the parchment paper and wrap the dough around it, starting in the center and creating a pinwheel base.
  • Add a spoonful of jalapeno popper mixture to the center of each pastry.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water.
  • Brush each pastry with egg wash and bake for 15-17 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy.
