Time 27m

Yield Makes about 40 twists

Number Of Ingredients 7

425g (14oz) pack ready-rolled puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
Flour, for dusting
125g (4 1/2oz / 1 cup) grated halloumi
100g (4oz / 1 cup) grated Pecorino or Parmesan
A small bunch of chives, snipped
1 medium free-range egg, beaten
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas 6.
  • Line two baking trays (cookie sheets) with baking parchment.
  • Unroll one of the pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Scatter nearly half of the grated cheeses over it. Sprinkle with the chives and season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Fold the pastry in half to cover the cheesy filling and roll out to the original size. Cut into strips 1cm (1/2 inch) wide and brush lightly with beaten egg. Twist them three or four times. Repeat with the remaining sheet of pastry.
  • Arrange the pastry twists on the baking trays and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
  • Leave to cool completely before eating. You can store them in an airtight container for 48 hours.
