Sometimes called cheese straws, these are an easy to make snack which are perfect to serve with drinks before dinner. I've made them here with pesto and Parmesan which will give you a milder flavour than my blue cheese puff pastries, but they are just as tasty. You could also simply use a mild or strong grated cheddar.
You will need -
a puff pastry sheet
a jar of Pesto alla Genovese
finely grated parmesan cheese
Preheat your oven to 220ºC and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
Unroll your pastry sheet onto a board, cut it down the middle and spread half of it with a good layer of pesto. Then sprinkle the cheese on top and lay the other half of the pastry over it. Press down firmly at each end.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut fingers of pastry (about an inch wide) and twist each one four times. Lay onto the baking sheet and pop into the oven for about 15 minutes. Best served freshly made.
