Parmesan Herb Cheese Twist
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Boursin cheese or any creamy cheese * see notes
- 1 egg *optional
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400
- Dust the surface lightly with flour and unfold or unroll puff pastry on the surface. Roll out lightly with a rolling pin to smooth creases, then cut pastry in half crosswise
- Spread a layer of the cheese and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Place second sheet of puff pastry over top, aligning edges, and press gently to flatten. Using a rolling pin, flatten out the puff pastry sheet just a little bit.
- Using your knife, cut rectangle into ½"-thick strips. For fewer straws that are longer, cut lengthwise. For more straws that are shorter (and easier to handle), cut crosswise.
- Transfer to prepared sheets and twist 2 ends in opposite directions several times. Repeat, spacing twists about 1" apart, until you’ve used all the pastry and filled both sheets.Optional: You can brush on the egg wash and sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 15-20 mins until it's golden brown.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is thawed out.
- You can use cream cheese in replace of what I have listed, just make sure to season the cream cheese with garlic, onion powder and Italian seasoning. You can use any flavored cream cheese as well.
