Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 12 strips.
- Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet, pressing the ends down to secure the twists.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the cheese and bacon twists warm.
