| 70 g | cheddar cheese (grated) |
| 1 sheet | puff pastry |
| cayenne pepper (for sprinkling) |
Sprinkle half the cheese onto a work surface and lay a sheet of puff pastry over the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the puff pastry. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper over the whole sheet, then roll the pastry into a small log.
Use a bench scraper or knife to slice the roll into smaller pieces. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then gently unroll each piece and twist both ends in opposite directions to create a twisted cheese straw. Repeat with all cheese straws.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Bake cheese straws for approx. 20 min., or until straws are dry to the touch and golden brown all over. Remove and let cool a bit before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
