Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas 4 and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  2. Lightly flour a clean, flat surface.
  3. If you are using pre-rolled pastry, gently peel the puff pastry away from the lining sheet. If using a block, roll it out to about 5mm / ¼ inch thick.
  4. Spread the Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste evenly over the top surface. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little pepper.
  5. Fold in half and roll out again to 5mm / ¼ inch thick, taking care not to break the surface and expose the paste/cheese (if you do, simply re-fold and try again).
  6. Cut into strips about 3cm / 1 ¼ inches wide. Holding both ends of the first strip, twist it into a spiral and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining strips.
  7. Brush each strip with a beaten egg to cover the exposed surfaces.
  8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
