Categories     Cheese

Yield 20-24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 oz.) package frozen puff pastry, defrosted completely
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup Parmesan, grated
1/2 cup Gruyere, shredded
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375º F. On 1 or 2 lightly floured piece(s) of parchment paper, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to a 10x12-inch rectangle that is 1/8-inch thick. In a small bowl or glass, beat together your egg and water, and brush it onto the puff pastry. In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, cayenne, salt and pepper. Toss to mix thoroughly. Spread cheese mixture out over the puff pastry and gently press it into the pastry to adhere. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each sheet (horizontally) into 10-12 thin strips. Spread apart each strip so there's 1-2-inches between them, twisting them before laying them back down on parchment paper. Place in oven and back for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. Turn each straw over and return to bake for another 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
