Puff Pastry Cheese Straws (Cheese Twists)
These puff pastry cheese straws or should I say cheese twists are amazingly simple and easy to make. Store bought puff pastry twisted with some medley of grated cheese then baked in the oven until nice and golden.
Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry if using frozen puff pastry, make sure to let it thaw.
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
- ½ cup yellow cheddar cheese grated or any other melthing cheese of choice.
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese greated
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 180C/365F then line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Roll out 1 puff pastry on a lightly floured worktop or on a parchment paper. Spinkle half of the pastry with grated cheese mixture and a few twist of freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Fold the other half with no cheese over the cheesy pastry and press together with a rolling pin. (now you will have a smaller rectangle)
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese and black pepper on the pastry and gently press down.
- Cut the pastry into 10 equal strips, carefully twist each strip in opposite direction into spiral, pinching both ends then transfer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Line the cheese twist on the baking bray leaving some space to allow for expansion in the oven.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until nice and golden and the cheese melted.
- Allow the cheese straws to cool completely before moving it to a serving bowl. It will crisp up as it cools.
Notes
Storage instructions
Make sure the baked puff pastry is completely cooled before transferring it into a Ziploc bag or a dry airtight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat: simply pop it back in the oven and bake for about 3 minutes at 180C/365F
