Peppery Cheese Straws Recipe – Leite’s Culinaria

Talk about straightforward pastry twists! These were quick, tasty, and fun.

Luckily, my puff pastry measured 30 cm square so I didn’t need to roll the dough until incorporating the cheese and pepper. I measured the cheese and the pepper and thought it might be too much. It was not. However, if you happened not to have quite enough cheese or wanted less pepper, it would also have worked.

My twists baked into golden strands in 15 minutes. I allowed them to rest for 5 minutes on a baking rack. These were crispy and tasty. I enjoyed them dipped into spicy seafood sauce for an extra layer of oomph. They paired amazingly well with a glass of Barolo.
