BLUE CHEESE & PARMESAN CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash; set aside.
• In another bowl, toss together the parmesan and blue cheeses; set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle.
• Brush both of the pastry sheets to the edges with the egg wash and sprinkle with paprika.
• Sprinkle the cheese mixture over one of the pastry sheets and top with the other pastry sheet, egg wash side down.
• Roll out the pastry with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
• Cut the pastry in half horizontally with a sharp knife and then lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
• Carefully pick up a stick and, with both hands, twist to form a spiral (left hand counter-clockwise, right hand clockwise).
• Arrange cheese straws about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets, pressing ends onto the sheets.
• Bake until golden and puffed, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool before removing to a serving dish.

BLUE CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the blue cheese, flour, cornstarch, butter, salt and pepper and pulse until the dough just comes together.
• Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a 4-inch disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, or for up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-by-6-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
• Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the dough and press lightly to help them adhere. Cut the dough into 6-by- 1/2 -inch strips and transfer them to the baking sheet; twist the ends in opposite directions to make spirals.
• Bake the cheese straws for about 15 minutes, or until crisp and brown. Let the straws cool on the baking sheet before serving.
