Ingredients

About 6 tbsp pesto
70g cream cheese
1 sheet of puff pastry
Egg – for glaze

Method:

In a bowl, combine your pesto and cream cheese together. Have a little taste as you go along and feel free to add more pesto or cheese!
Looking at a sheet of puff pastry so it has the longest edge towards you, divide in half short ways using a pizza cutter. On one half, spread the pesto and cream cheese mixture, leaving a small edge.
Pick up the other half of puff pastry and lay it on top of the other sheet.
Using a pizza cutter, divide the sheet into about 8 – 10 pieces short ways, depending on width.
Place onto a baking tray and twist each side of each individual twist in the opposite direction.
Lightly brush with egg or milk and pop into the oven at 200C for about 20 minutes.
