THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA - WHAT A YUMMY RECIPE!!
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastries defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
- Flour for dusting
- 1 extra large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 cup finely grated gruyere cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board until it is 10- by 12-inches. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with 1⁄4 cup of the Parmesan, 1⁄2 cup of the Gruyère, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the salt, and some 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 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake for another 2 minutes. Don't over bake or the cheese will burn. Cool and serve at room temperature
