Prepare puff pastry.

Spread 3 tablespoons of Philadelphia cream cheese evenly over the entire surface of the dough.

Grate 2 oz/70 g of Cheddar cheese and spread it only on half of the dough.

Chop a bunch of parsley, avoiding the stems, and sprinkle it on top of the Cheddar cheese.

Fold the dough in half and press down lightly to seal the filling inside.

Cut the folded dough into strips.

Lay a few strips of smoked bacon on top of the pastry strips.

Twist the dough with the bacon into a spiral shape.

Place the twisted pastry sticks in the air fryer basket.

Beat 1 egg and brush it over the pastry sticks for a golden finish.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sticks.

Cook in the air fryer at 360ºF/180ºC for 12-15 minutes.
