Bonfire Night Chilli Cheese Twists

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C fan and line a baking tray.

2. Mix the grated mature cheddar, red Leicester, chilli flakes, smoked paprika and garlic.

3. Unroll the puff pastry, brush with beaten egg and scatter over the cheesy mix. Fold the pastry in half and gently press together.

4. Cut into 1.5–2cm strips, then twist each one 3–5 times. Keep them rustic — think flaming logs, not perfect sticks!

5. Place on the tray, brush with egg and scatter over Parmesan, chilli flakes and a dusting of smoked paprika for that fiery ember look.

6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed, crisp and deep golden with toasted edges. Bake a bit longer for extra crispiness.

7. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm and crispy — perfect for Bonfire Night sharing.
