These Oven Baked Beef Puff Pastry Twists combine savory ground beef and melted white cheese wrapped inside buttery, flaky puff pastry. Twisted and brushed with egg wash before baking, these golden-brown spirals offer a crisp, savory snack or party appetizer with layered texture in every bite.

Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Puff Pastry Twists
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Sheet puff pastry, thawed | 1 |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Shredded white cheese (mozzarella or Monterey Jack) | 1 cup |
| Large egg, beaten | 1 |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and brown beef: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into fine crumbles. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
-
Layer filling: Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll gently to smooth the seams. Spread the cooled beef over one half of the pastry, then sprinkle the shredded white cheese over the meat.
-
Fold, cut, and twist: Fold the plain half of the pastry over the filling and press lightly. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips, gently twist each strip several times, and place on the prepared baking sheet with space between them. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
-
Bake and serve: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed, deep golden brown, and the cheese is melted throughout. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
