Cheese and pickle straws
Background
It's useful to keep puff pastry in the fridge or freezer because it's so easy to make some snacks from them if you have friends popping in for a drink! This time I've just added some cheese and pickle et voilΓ we've had some lovely nibbles to wash down with our Prosecco. Next time I'll add some ham too!
Ingredients
- 1 pack of ready-rolled puff pastry
- approx 3-4 Tbsp Branston pickle (or similar)
- 50g mature cheddar (or similar)
- 1 egg, beaten ( optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Unroll the pastry onto a chopping board (keep the grease-proof sheet underneath it).
- Spread the pickle on half of the pastry, then grate half of the cheese over it.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing down the edges to seal.
- Roll it out to the thickness of about 3mm, then trim off the edges.
- Cut it into 2cm strips, along the shorter side. Brush them with egg (if used) then scatter grated cheese over them. Using your fingers, twist the strips at each end, but in the opposite direction.
- Place the straws on the baking sheet and scatter some more grated cheese over them.
- Bake them for about 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Let them cool a bit before serving.
