Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry (about 11 ounces)
- ½ cup vegetarian hard cheese/ vegetarian parmesan cheese (see the note)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (see the note)
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 egg (lightly beaten for eggwash)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 392°F/ 200°C or gas mark 7. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Grate the hard cheese with the zester blade and the cheddar cheese with the finer grater.
- 3
Open the puff pastry packet and lay the pastry horizontally lengthwise on a chopping board. I keep mine with its parchment paper intact. So I don’t need to flour the board and save time. But you can take the parchment paper off and lay the pastry on a floured surface.
- 4
Spread the cream cheese on half of the pastry, leaving the other half empty.
- 5
Sprinkle the hard cheese and cheddar cheese on top of the cream cheese. Leave about a tablespoon of each cheese for topping.
- 6
Lift the other end of the pastry and fold it over to cover the cheese. So the pastry has now been reduced to half size.
- 7
Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry until it is half-size-thinner. This is also to help the cheese stick to the pastry.
- 8
Cut the pastry halfway in length, so you have two equal rectangles. Then cut each rectangle into strips. I did mine into 8 strips for each rectangle and I ended up having 16 strips.
- 9
Take each strip and hold it at its ends. Twist it and place it on the lined baking sheet. Do the same for all the strips.
- 10
Brush the eggwash all over each pastry straw and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pastries.
- 11
Bake the cheese pastries for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 392°F/ 200°C or gas mark 7.
