Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the rolled-out puff pastry evenly with the egg wash.
In another bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, gently pressing it into the dough with your hands or a rolling pin.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips about 1/2-inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
Twist each strip a few times to create a spiral shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese sticks are golden brown and crisp.
Let the cheese sticks cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
