Puff Pastry Cheese Twists
by Brava Chef Annie
About this Recipe
Our latest holiday recipe uses just two crowd-pleasing ingredients: puff pastry and cheese. Sometimes referred to as “Cheese Straws”, this savory app goes well on a cheeseboard. As a note, this recipe uses one sheet of thawed, store-bought puff pastry to make 6 cheese twists. If you prefer to use both sheets of puff pastry, simply double the amount of cheese and once you prepare and bake the first puff pastry, repeat steps with remaining pastry and cheese.
