Mary Berry Poker Chips Recipe

Mary Berry Poker Chips

Poker Chips are puff pastry twists filled with savory ingredients like black olive tapenade and cheese, brushed with egg wash for a golden, flaky finish. Mary Berry’s recipe ensures crispy, cheesy goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet (320g) all-butter puff pastry, ready-rolled
  • 4 tbsp black olive tapenade
  • 55g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 55g Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. If the pastry isn’t evenly rolled, use a rolling pin to smooth it out.
  3. Spread the Tapenade: Spread the black olive tapenade evenly over one half of the pastry.
  4. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese over the tapenade-covered half of the pastry.
  5. Fold the Pastry: Fold the uncovered half of the pastry over the cheese and tapenade to enclose the filling. Gently press down to seal the layers together.
  6. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips about 1cm wide. Hold each end of a strip and twist gently to form a spiral. Place each twist onto the prepared baking tray.
  7. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the twists with the beaten egg and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake the Twists: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the twists to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
