Description
Flaky, golden, and full of cheesy goodness! These herby cheese twists use puff pastry, cheddar, and parmesan to make a quick, savory snack everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cubes or sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sharp grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or Aromat
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water
- Dried basil, rosemary, or parsley, to taste
Instructions
- Thaw your 2 cubes or sheets of puff pastry according to the package directions.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If you’re using cubes, roll them into a 15” x 15” square. If you’ve got pre-rolled sheets, just unfold them and smooth out any creases.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of water, then brush it lightly over the top of the pastry.
- Sprinkle each sheet with ¼ cup shredded Parmesan and ½ cup grated sharp cheddar, so the cheese is evenly spread.
- Add a pinch of salt (or Aromat), a few cracks of black pepper, and your favorite dried herbs: basil, rosemary, or parsley. (I like mixing basil on one sheet and rosemary on the other for a little variety.)
- Use your rolling pin to gently press the cheese and herbs into the pastry: not too hard, just enough so they stick.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch strips, then cut them in half crosswise.
- Twist each strip a few times and lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Pop them in the oven for 10–15 minutes until they puff and turn lightly golden.
- Flip each straw over, then bake for another 2–3 minutes to get both sides crisp.
- Let them cool slightly, or don’t, if you can’t resist that warm, cheesy smell,
- Enjoy!
