Tips:

  • Use a good quality puff pastry dough. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your cheese twists.
  • If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry dough, you can use store-bought dough. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your cheese twists a more complex flavor.
