Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle, ensuring an even thickness for uniform baking.
  3. Brush with Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the surface of the puff pastry sheet with the beaten egg; this helps the toppings adhere and gives a golden sheen when baked.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, and salt evenly over the egg-coated pastry to distribute flavor thoroughly.
  5. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the puff pastry in half lengthwise to enclose the toppings, then gently press to seal the edges together, creating a layered effect with the filling inside.
  6. Cut into Strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded pastry into 1/2-inch-wide strips, preparing them for twisting and baking.
  7. Twist and Arrange: Take each strip and twist it several times to create the characteristic cheese straw shape, then place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake: Bake the twisted pastry strips in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cheese straws to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed for easier rolling and folding.
  • If fresh rosemary isn’t available, dried rosemary can be substituted, but use less as it is more concentrated.
  • Storage: These cheese straws can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Optional: Serve with a creamy dip such as ranch or a herbed cream cheese spread for added flavor variety.
  • To make serving easier, twist the strips tightly to enhance flakiness and structure before baking.
