These delicious, savory Cheese Straws were made from a recipe in the cookbook.

Here it is:

Parmesan Cheese Straws

2 ounces Parmesan Grano Cheese-grated

1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil

1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 Sheet of Puff Pastry~thawed

1 Egg

1 tablespoon Water

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 

Mix the cheese, basil, and garlic powder together. Set aside.

On a floured surface, unroll the puff pastry and cut the sheet in half.

You will now have 2 pieces measuring 12 X 7.

Mix together the egg and water for an egg wash.

Gently brush both pieces of pastry with the mix.

Sprinkle the cheese mixture over one side of the pastry.

Take the other piece and put it on the piece with the cheese on it.

The brushed side should be down.

Push down on the edges, and press the air out across the piece.

Using a pastry wheel, or pizza cutter, cut crosswise pieces

1/2″ wide. 

Place on ungreased baking sheet.

Twist from both ends while they are on the sheet. Secure by pushing

ends into the baking sheet.

Bake 9-11 minutes, but check them at 8 minutes.

Cool slightly.
