CHEESE STRAWS FROM HEAVEN

Cheese Straws from Heaven

1 package frozen puff pastry
1/2 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 1/2-inch wide strips, give each strip several twists, then lay them 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about ten minutes. Allow to cool slightly but serve still warm.

Makes about 24 straws.
