Carol, This is Barefoot's recipe and they are delicious!
Cheese Straws:
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted overnite in fridge
Flour, for dusting
1 egg
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh grated Gruyere cheese
1 tsp. minced thyme
1 tsp kosher salt
black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll out each sheet puff pastry on a floured board until it is 10 by 12 inches. Beat egg with the water and brush surface of pastry. Sprinkle each sheet with 1/4 cup of Parmesan, 1/2 cup of the Gruyere, 1/2 tsp. thyme, 1/2 tsp. of salt and 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 12 minutes until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake another 2 minutes. Don't overbake or the cheese will burn. Cool and serve at room temp. Note: turn straws with tongs, they will be slightly limp. 5 star recipe! and easy to transport, great with wine. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
