Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until smooth.

Cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.

Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then chop into small pieces.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over half of the pastry strips.

Add the chopped bacon on top of the cheese.

Season with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

Fold the other half of the pastry strips over the filling and press to seal.

Twist each filled strip several times to create a spiral shape.

Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the twists for a golden finish.

Sprinkle parsley on top for garnish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
