Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 pizza wheel
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board until it's approximately 10 by 12 inches.
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with the cheese, garlic powder and cayenne.
- With the rolling pin, lightly press the cheese and seasoning into the puff pastry. Cut each sheet crosswise with a knife or pizza wheel into 11 or 12 strips. (If the blade sticks you can dust with flour.)
- Twist each strip and lay on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake for another 2 minutes. Don't overbake or the cheese will burn.
- Cool and serve at room temperature.
- Let the puff pastry thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
