How to Make Puff Pastry Cheese Stick Appetizers

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grate 2 cups of your favorite cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or a blend) using a box grater or food processor.
  3. In a bowl, combine the grated cheese with 1 tablespoon dried herbs (Italian blend recommended), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Mix well.
  4. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a shallow dish.
  5. Thaw one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry according to package directions.
  6. Dip each side of the puff pastry sheet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Sprinkle the egg-washed puff pastry evenly with the cheese mixture.
  8. Place the coated puff pastry on a sheet of wax paper.
  9. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the pastry into 6 x 1-inch strips.
  10. Twist each strip into a spiral shape and place them about 1 inch apart on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Carefully remove the cheese sticks from the baking sheet using a wide spatula and serve immediately.
