Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.5 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water (cold)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pulse to mix.
Add the cold butter, cut into small cubes, to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the crumbled blue cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to clump together.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 1/2-inch wide and 6 inches long.
Gently twist each strip a few times to create spirals, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the cheese straws lightly with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the straws are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
