God bless pre-made puff pastry. After all, seriously. Chelsea and I both like this quick cheater ingredient so much, we could pretty much write a cookbook committed solely to freezing puff pastry formulas (publishers, take note).
It’s so versatile!
Make it savoury, allow it to be sweet, make it breakfast, lunch, supper, dessert, treat… Move it out and perform anything with it. It’s flaky, buttery beauty will bestow just about any dish with quick and tiramisu cheesecake recept easy YUM.
Actually, using our new and improved search bar on the proper (heyo!), I had developed to look up how many amazing puff pastry dishes we had in the mix already…
… and now this. In the event that’s not enough to convince you to keep a couple squares in your freezer over the reg, I don’t know what is certainly.
It’s gift container season at the office again. Every few days, a basket will come into the lunch room and get ritualistically ripped into by whoever can be lucky enough to listen to the magical crinkling audio of cellophane as it comes (it’s like a lunch time bell around here).
Cookies, chocolates, nut products. I don’t possess much of
a sweet tooth myself so I always get particularly excited when it’s a savoury container. Parmesan cheese, crackers, antipasto, Mozzarella cheese STRAWS. Mozzarella cheese straws are a weird and great beast. They’re sort of like crackers but larger, and reliably covered in some sort of mozzarella cheese. Crunchy, chewy, salty- just what I want at 2pm on a Thursday afternoon.
It got me thinking, as I prepared for next Friday’s much anticipated Interface and Fin Vacation Baking Day (translation: Chelsea and I taking the day off work to marathon Christmas movies and eat all day time… with some baking happening sooner or later)… I will approach my holiday cooking like I approach gift baskets. Just a little sweet, a little chewy, a little crunchy, a little savoury- something for everyone.
These parmesan cheese straws are extra quick and easy thanks to these pre-made puff pastry. Yes, I possibly could have made my own dough, but the potential customer of perfecting a recipe that may be whipped up in the fifty percent hour scramble before your in-laws/party guests/beloved co-blogger come over… well, everyone loves a short trim. Specifically one this delicious.
Serve them as part of your vacation spread or give them as presents. They’re superb all on their own or offered with dip. If you are serving with dip, my personal favourites are something yogurt and cilantro-based or the traditional- Litehouse Dilly Drop , that i swear is certainly delicious on anything) (not a shameless shill for Litehouse, I have definitely not been paid to say it) (although if Litehouse wished to send me a lifetime way to obtain Dilly Drop for the kind terms, I’m totally alright with that).
Cheddar Chipotle Mozzarella cheese Straws
5.0 from 2 reviews
Eaten independently or with drop, these delectable treats make excellent gifts and party snacks!
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator overnight
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 huge egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a big baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a little dish, beat egg and chipotle together (I take advantage of an immersion blender to beat the egg and chop the pepper at the same time- it works effectively but isn’t necessary unless you have one).
On the lightly floured surface, move out the puff pastry. Clean the egg combination over the surface area of the puff pastry. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and salt equally on the pastry. Using a moving pin, gently press the parmesan cheese into the puff pastry. Cut the pastry into strips, twist each strip up and place them flat for the lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 mins until lightly browned then turn each straw over and bake for yet another 3-5 minutes so that they brown on both edges. Take care not to overcook. Let great totally and serve at space temperature.
