Notes
Recipe Variations
Cheese: Instead of cheddar cheese, sometimes I like to use parmesan or mozzarella. I find that grated parmesan is a lot easier to twist without the cheese filling falling. Add More Filling: You can add bacon strips to this recipe or spread some pesto or mustard over the pastry. Instead of black pepper you can try oregano, really the options are endless. Change the size to change the texture: The thinner the strips you cut, the crisper they become. If you want your cheese straws less crispy then increase the size (in width).Nutrition
