Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Roll out thawed puff pastry to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into 2-inch wide strips.

Spoon filling onto one half of the pastry strip, fold over, and twist to seal and create a spiral shape.

Whisk an egg and brush the tops of each twisted popper for a golden finish.

Arrange the twisted pastries on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool briefly before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
