Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place a sheet of frozen puff pastry dough onto a floured work surface and allow dough to thaw just until it can be unfolded. Unfold dough into a flat sheet; brush top of puff pastry dough with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Sprinkle white Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese onto the dough, covering the surface. Top with a piece of plastic wrap; press cheese and seasonings firmly into the dough with your fingers or by laying a sheet pan onto the dough over the plastic and pressing it down.
- Remove plastic and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough down the seam lines into thirds; cut each third lengthwise into thirds for a total of 9 breadsticks.
- Pick up a dough strip, place it seasoned side down on the work surface, and twist from both ends 8 or 9 times to make a rolled tube of dough with the seasoned side out. Place breadsticks onto prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the sticks. Roll the sticks lightly to even up their shapes and pick up and press any dropped cheese onto the surfaces.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes; flip and continue baking until breadsticks are browned and crisp, 10 to 20 more minutes. If you pick up a stick by one end and it droops, bake for several more minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese. Mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese are all popular choices for cheese sticks, but you can use any type of cheese that melts well. For a more unique flavor, try using a smoked or flavored cheese.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your cheese sticks will taste. Use high-quality cheese, fresh herbs, and spices.
- Don't overstuff the cheese sticks. If you put too much cheese in the sticks, they will be difficult to roll up and seal. Aim for about 1 tablespoon of cheese per stick.
- Seal the cheese sticks tightly. Make sure to seal the cheese sticks tightly so that the cheese doesn't leak out during baking. You can use a fork to crimp the edges of the dough, or you can use a pastry brush to brush the edges with water before baking.
- Bake the cheese sticks until golden brown. The cheese sticks should be baked until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
Crescent cheese sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of cheese sticks that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give crescent cheese sticks a try!
