Servings: 12 cheese sticks
Ingredients
- 1 frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- ¼ tsp smoked or sweet paprika, to taste
- ¼ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, (I like to use a blend of white and yellow cheddar)
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Set puff pastry dough onto a lightly floured work surface to thaw.
- Brush top of puff pastry with olive oil.
- Season puff pastry with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Sprinkle top of pastry with cheeses and press down on the cheeses to adhere to the dough.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 10 to 12 long strips, about 1-inch wide.
- Pick up a strip of dough, place it seasoned-side-down on your work surface; hold one end with one hand, and the other end with your other hand, and twist from both ends about 8 times.
- Transfer each twisted strip of dough to previously prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes; flip over and continue to bake for 5 to 8 more minutes, or until browned and crisp.
- Remove from oven and serve.
