CHEESE STRAWS

 

 

 

2 cups grated Cheddar cheese

1/3-cup grated Parmesan cheese

1-teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Dash of salt

1 17 ½-ounce box (2 sheets) puff pastry

2 tablespoons softened butter

 

          Mix together cheeses, pepper and salt. Spread one puff pastry sheet with butter. Spread with cheese mixture. Place second pastry sheet on top. Mash together ends of pastry. With a rolling pin, roll out to ¼-inch thickness, about 15 inches by 15 inches. Cut across in 1-inch ribbons. Cut in half again. Twist each piece. Bake in a pre-heated 425-degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned.
