"These super easy cheese straws make use of store-bought puff pastry and your favorite grated cheese. We use an aged cheddar cheese here, but you could swap in other hard cheeses like Parmesan or even a mix of different cheeses. For more variety, try adding minced fresh herbs, spices, or flavored salts to the cheese straws before rolling and baking. Store them in a resealable freezer bag if you have extra, but these are best eaten warm on the day they’re made."

Step 1/3
- 70 g cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- cayenne pepper (for sprinkling)
Sprinkle half the cheese onto a work surface and lay a sheet of puff pastry over the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the puff pastry. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper over the whole sheet, then roll the pastry into a small log.
Step 2/3
- bench scraper
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
Use a bench scraper or knife to slice the roll into smaller pieces. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then gently unroll each piece and twist both ends in opposite directions to create a twisted cheese straw. Repeat with all cheese straws.
Step 3/3
- oven
Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Bake cheese straws for approx. 20 min., or until straws are dry to the touch and golden brown all over. Remove and let cool a bit before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Enjoy your meal!
