Heavenly Cheese Straws

 

Makes about 24 straws

 

1 package frozen puff pastry

½ cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

 

Defrost puff pastry. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

 

Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese onto a work surface, lay the unfolded pastry on top of it, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, pressing the cheese into it, to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut the pastry into long ½ inch wide strips, give each strip several twists, then lay them ½ inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly but serve while still warm.
