Puff Pastry Twists with Gruyère & Dijon

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or Parmesan/cheddar)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• Pinch of flaky sea salt

1) Prepare the Pastry:

• Prehead the oven to 400°F.
• Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry to smooth any creases, forming a rectangle about 10x12 inches.

2) Add the Flavor:

• Spread a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard across the entire surface of the pastry.
• Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the mustard, followed by fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

3) Fold and Slice:

• Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and gently press to seal.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the folded pastry into ½-inch-wide strips.

4) Twist the Strips:

• Hold both ends of each strip and twist gently to create a spiral. Place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.

5) Bake:

• Sprinkle the twists lightly with flaky sea salt.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

6) Cool and Serve:

• Let the twists cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with Domaine Carneros Ultra Brut.
