preparation:

Prepare the Garlic Butter Mix:

Melt butter in a small bowl.

Add minced garlic, parsley, and dill, and mix well.

Stir in chili sauce for an extra kick (optional).

Prepare the Puff Pastry:

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry into a thin sheet.

Brush the pastry with half of the garlic butter mixture.

Add the Filling:

Evenly sprinkle grated cheese and chopped ham over the puff pastry.

Fold the pastry in half and gently press it down to seal.

Cut and Twist:

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the filled pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

Take each strip and twist it several times to create a spiral shape.

Place them on a greased baking sheet.

Bake the Pastry Twists:

Brush each twist with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is crispy and golden brown.

Prepare the Sour Cream Dip:

Roast the whole garlic head until soft.

Mash the roasted garlic and mix it with sour cream and a pinch of salt.

Serve:

Remove the twists from the oven and brush with remaining garlic butter.

Serve warm with the garlic sour cream dip.

enjoy!
