Time 30m

Yield 22 to 24 straws

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry (preferably Pepperidge Farm), defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
1 extra-large egg
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup finely grated gruyere cheese
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board until it's 10 by 12 inches. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with 1/4 cup of the parmesan, 1/2 cup of the gruyere, 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and some pepper. With the rolling pin, lightly press the flavorings into the puff pastry. Cut each sheet crosswise with a floured knife or pizza wheel into 11 or 12 strips. Twist each strip and lay on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake for another 2 minutes. Don't overbake or the cheese will burn. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Homemade Cheese Straws image

Ever since her catering days, Martha has been baking these light-as-air cheese straws. You can buy versions, but nothing rivals cheese straws fresh out of the oven. For a variation, try rolling the puff pastry in poppy seeds, paprika, or sesame seeds.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

All-purpose flour, for work surface
Puff Pastry, made through the fourth turn
12 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated medium-fine (about 4 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry dough to a 9-by-20-inch rectangle. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over center of dough. Starting at the near short end, fold dough into thirds, enclosing cheese. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour. Repeat. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Cut dough in half; wrap half in plastic, and refrigerate. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to a 12-by-15-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. (Do not press too hard on edges.)
  • Using a pastry brush, dust off excess flour; brush beaten egg over dough until well moistened. Sprinkle 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cheese and a pinch of salt over lower half of dough. Fold top half over cheese-covered half. Gently press to seal. Brush top of dough with beaten egg; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cheese and a pinch of salt.
  • Trim dough to 12 by 6 1/2 inches with a pastry wheel or knife. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough, cheese, and salt.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a pastry wheel, cut dough into 3/8-by-12-inch strips; twist into spirals. Space 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Press ends onto sheets to prevent straws from straightening. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Bake until golden and cooked through, about 18 minutes. Loosen straws from sheets with a thin spatula; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 day.

CHEESE STRAWS



Cheese Straws image

This one earned a higher place on the BabyCakes Piece of Cake scale simply because it requires pastry assemblage, which always complicates matters. It might take a little while for you sophomores to get your rhythm down, and your first few straws will probably look more like craggy witch fingers, but it's all going to pay off if you stick with it. Once it does, you should host a dinner party and set these out early by the pintful.

Yield makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup brown rice flour, plus 1/2 cup for dusting
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup arrowroot
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup melted refined coconut oil or canola oil
3 1/4 cups gluten-free vegan cheese
1/4 cup agave nectar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup rice flour, the all-purpose flour, the cornmeal, arrowroot, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the coconut oil, 1 1/4 cups of the cheese, and the agave nectar and stir (the mixture will be very dry). Slowly add up to 3/4 cup water until the dough is sticky. Divide the dough in half.
  • Dust a clean work surface with 1/4 cup of the remaining rice flour and place half the dough on top. Sprinkle the top of the dough generously with more rice flour and roll it out into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese on half the rectangle. Flip the bare dough on top of it so that the cheese is sandwiched between two layers of dough. Cut the dough into 4-inch-long x 1-inch-wide strips and pinch the open sides closed. Transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the strips.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, rotate, and continue baking until the cheese straws are golden brown, about 8 minutes more.

FRENCH CHEESE STRAWS

To save time, buy good-quality store-bought puff pastry to make these easy, elegant party appetizers.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 pound store-bought puff pastry
1 to 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking mats; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together both cheeses and cayenne pepper, if using. Sprinkle cheese mixture on work surface; top with puff pastry and roll out to a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, pressing dough into cheese to adhere. Sprinkle top of dough with poppy seeds, if desired; press gently with a rolling pin to adhere.
  • Using a pastry cutter, trim sides to form a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut puff pastry into 3/4-inch-thick strips. Grab each end of a dough strip with your fingers and carefully stretch and twist strip in opposite directions; arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Transfer to refrigerator to chill, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until golden and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even strips. This will help them bake evenly.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Sprinkle the cheese straws with salt and pepper before baking. This will give them a savory flavor.
  • Bake the cheese straws until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cheese straws cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Cheese straws are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply enjoying at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cheese straws that are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty snack, give cheese straws a try.
