Time 30m

Yield 36 straws

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 box phyllo dough, thawed
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
Store-bought pesto, for dipping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lightly beaten egg, Parmesan, and salt. Stir to combine. Spoon mixture into a plastic zip-top bag. Set aside. To use as a pastry bag, cut corner off bag to make a 1/4-inch diameter opening.
  • Lay out thawed phyllo dough. Working quickly to keep dough from drying out: brush top sheet with melted butter, pipe cheese filling along long edge of phyllo 1/2-inch from each end. Fold over ends to seal in filling and roll up straw. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo and place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm with pesto for dipping.

These cheese straws are a bit too rich for my taste, but they're still good.

These cheese straws were a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were good.
