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

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until slightly larger and even.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Slice the puff pastry into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Take about 1 tablespoon of the filling and place it at one end of a pastry strip, then fold the strip in half lengthwise and seal the edges.

Twist the filled pastry strip several times to create a spiral shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of each twisted pastry. Sprinkle optional toppings if desired.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving warm.
