Ingredients

- 1 sheet Jus Roll Puff Pastry
- 2 Tbs Red pesto
- 50 g Parmesan (vegetarian)
- 1 Egg

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 220C/200C Fan / 425F and line a baking sheet with baking/parchment paper.

2

Take the puff pastry out the fridge about half an hour before you start so it has time to warm up a bit before you use it.

3

Unroll the pastry carefully and lay it out on your work surface or a large chopping board. Cut it in half down the middle width ways.

4

Using the back of a spoon, spread the pesto over one half of the pastry.

5

Grate the cheese (using the small side of your grater), then sprinkle that all over your pastry, on top of the pesto.

6

Take the second sheet of puff pastry and add it to the top of the first sheet. Press it down firmly on top – you can either use your hands to do this, or a rolling pin.

7

Cut the puff pastry into strips around 1.5cm (½ inch) wide. We used a pizza cutter, but a sharp knife would also work – we cut it width ways so we could get more cheese straws.

8

Pick up each straw, give them a few twists then place them on your baking tray. Once you’ve done them all, brush them with a little egg.

9

Bake the puff pastry twists in the oven for around 12-15 minutes. They’re ready when they’ve turned a nice golden brown and are crispy rather than soggy.
