Golden twists of pastry with swirls of gruyere and parmesan cheese and a hint of thyme provide a delicate crunch that’s perfect for a party appetizer or afternoon snack.

Why try? By using frozen puff pastry, you can quickly make impressive cheese straws that can be piled high on a platter or gathered into a bunch as a decorative arrangement in a tall glass or vase.

Foodie Byte: While these cheese straws can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, they are truly best when eaten within a few hours.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets (1 box) puff pastry, defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup gruyere cheese, finely grated
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  • 2
    Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 10 by 12 inches on a lightly floured board.
  • 3
    Brush the surface with beaten egg, and sprinkle each rectangle evenly with cheeses, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • 4
    Cut about 12 strips out of each sheet, and twist, laying about an inch apart on a greased baking tray.
  • 5
    Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned, then turn over and bake another 5 minutes. Serve.
