Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Unfold 2 thawed sheets of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to even out the creases and gently roll out the puff pastry. Pour half of the butter onto each of the puff pastry sheets and spread evenly using an offset spatula or a pastry brush. Sprinkle half of the garlic salt, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese onto each puff pastry sheet.
Use a pizza cutter and cut into 3/4" wide strips. Twist each puff pastry strip and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Use a pastry brush to egg wash the puff pastry.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: store completely cooled Cheese Twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
