If you’re planning on entertaining for that special occasion, take a look at this easy recipe for cheesy party straws with a twist!
Ingredients
- 500g pkt fresh puff pastry
- a little flour
- 2tbsp sun dried tomato paste
- 150g Butlers Farmhouse Tasty Lancashire cheese, finely grated
- 2tbsp Marmite
- 2tbsp Gentlemen’s Relish
- 2tbsp fresh pesto
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425F / Gas 7.
- Divide the packet of puff pastry into four and use one portion at a time (popping the rest back in the fridge).
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll each portion to a rectangle measuring about 31cm x 21cm.
- Spread the pastry with the sun dried tomato paste and then sprinkle with a quarter of the grated cheese.
- Fold the pastry over lengthways and press firmly together.
- Cut about eight 1cm wide strips then cut each strip in half (so the straws aren’t too long) and twist.
- Arrange on baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes before cooking or freeze until ready to cook then bake for 7-10 minutes.
- Repeat with the Marmite, gentlemen’s relish and pesto.
- Trim the ends of the straws and carefully stand in glasses for a spectacular way of serving the straws.
- Alternatively, freeze the uncooked straws in baking sheets lined with parchment and cook from frozen when your guests arrive - you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.
