Recipe: Cheese and Herb Pastry Twists

These delectable savoury nibbles are perfect served with a pre-dinner drink. Made with ready-made puff pastry, they are a cinch to make and extremely moreish!

Cheese and Herb Pastry Twists

Ingredients (makes about 30):
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, partially thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten with a little cold water
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, or a combination)
2 tablespoon finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (eg. thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc)
½ teaspoon of paprika

Method:
1.    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Line baking sheets with baking paper.
2.    Place the sheets of puff pastry on a floured surface. Brush the surface of the pastry with the egg. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with the cheese, herbs, a little paprika, some freshly ground black pepper and a little sea salt.
3.    Using a rolling pin, lightly press the cheese and herbs into the puff pastry. Cut each sheet into 1½ cm strips using a sharp knife or a pizza wheel. Using both hands, gently twist each strip and lay on the baking sheets.
4.    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffed, turning after 10 minutes of cooking. Cool and serve at room temperature.
