- Yields:
-
18 straws
ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
- 1⁄2 cup pepper jack-style cheese
- 1 lemon, zest of
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, coarsely ground
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
directions
- Lightly flour a clean, flat surface and roll the sheet of puff pastry to an 1/8th of an inch in thickness. Try to keep it approximately the shape of a rectangle for smoother edges.
- Sprinkle the cheese, lemon zest, ground pepper, and salt evenly over the long top half. Fold the bottom half over, gently pressing the two sides together to seal. Use a very sharp knife to cut 1/2-3/4 inch wide strips.
- Handling one strip at a time, take one end in each hand and carefully twist them in opposite directions to form a tight spiral. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, pressing the ends down firmly to discourage them from uncurling. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing the twists about 1 inch apart. Move the entire batch into the freezer and let rest for 30 minutes before baking.
- Once the straws are nearly done chilling, begin preheating your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Move the frozen baking sheet immediately into the oven and bake until the straws are golden brown all over(13-16 minutes). Transfer to wire racks and let cool completely before eating.
