Cheese Twists


Ingredients
  • 1 Sheet of Ready-Rolled Puff PAstry
  • 200g mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • milk to seal




Method

  1. Unroll the pastry sheet and brush all over with milk.
  2. Spread the cheese over half of the sheet allowing for a margin of about 1/2 inch at each edge.
  3. Fold the pastry over to make a a parcel of cheese and press down to ensure it is sealed.
  4. Using a sharp knife cut the parcels into strips about 1 inch wide.
  5. Before placing each strip onto a greased baking sheet twist the strip ans press the ends onto the tray to ensure it keeps its shape.
  6. Cook in the oven 180 oC for approxiamtely 30mins or until pastry is puffed, crispy and golden.
  7. Remove and serve hot or cold.

I love these things and they are so easy to make but they make great finger food at a party and with Christmas just around the corner anything quick for the guests is a bonus!!!

It does sound easy! Unfortunately pastry sheets are rare finds here in the Philippines. Any suggestions on substitutes? Thanks :)

You could use any puff pastry from the shops, or make your own, then just roll it out very thinly into a rectangle. I was using a ready-rolled sheet here for sheer speed only.

This looks great, and you could change the cheese depending on what kind of wine you are serving!
