Baked Twisted Pastry Ribbons
Servings: 60 cheese sticks
 
Baked Twisted Pastry Ribbons
Impressive and yet a cinch to make, these cheese sticks make a tasty appetizer and a wonderful conversation starter. They freeze well in foil so you may make them ahead of time – just bring them to room temperature when ready to serve.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup (4 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons each dried oregano and thyme
  Freshly milled black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 eggs
1 1-pound package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 400°. Using the small holes of a cheese grater, grate the cheese into a mixing bowl or use a food processor with a grating disk. Add the herbs, ground pepper, and sesame seeds to the cheese; stir to combine.

Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate or baking dish. Dip both sides of the defrosted dough in the beaten eggs, and dredge lightly in the herb-cheese mixture.

Place the seasoned sheets of dough onto a waxed-paper work surface. Using a pastry wheel, cut the dough into 6x1-inch strips. Twist the dough strips into spiral shapes and place about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick.

Bake the cheese sticks for 15 minutes. Using a wide spatula, carefully remove them from the pan. Store or cool slightly and serve.
