Parmesan Cheese Straws Recipes

PARMESAN STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water; set egg wash aside. In another small bowl, combine Parmesan, mustard powder, salt, and cayenne; set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough (still folded in thirds) to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. With short side facing you, cut in half crosswise; brush one side of both halves with egg wash. Sprinkle one egg-washed half with cheese mixture. Sandwich halves together, egg-washed sides facing in; press lightly to adhere. Run a rolling pin over dough to seal.
• With short side facing you, cut dough crosswise into 24 strips, each 8 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Place strips, 1 inch apart, onto 2 baking sheets; twist strips, pressing down on ends to adhere them to sheets. Bake until cheese straws are puffed and golden, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Brush with some of the egg wash and sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and paprika. Gently run the rolling pin over the dough to press the cheese mixture into it. Turn the dough over, brush it again with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining cheese and paprika. Again, gently run the rolling pin over the dough to press the cheese into it. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper that does not extend all the way to the end, leaving about 1 inch of baking sheet uncovered. With a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Twist the strips corkscrew fashion and arrange 1/2 inch apart on the parchment lined baking sheet. Press the ends of the strips onto the bare baking sheet at each end so they stick and hold the dough stretched and in place.
• Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Cut crosswise into 4-inch lengths while hot and let cool on racks.
• Note: Straws may be stored in air-tight containers for 1 to 2 days. Keep in a cool, dry place. Crisp in the oven before serving.

PARMESAN CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large nonstick baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix the cheese, chili powder and cumin. Place the sheets of phyllo on a work surface and cover them with a damp towel. Remove the first sheet and place it with short side toward you. Coat with nonstick cooking spray (butter-flavored is nice), then sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture; fold the phyllo in 1/2 to form a 12 by 8 1/2-inch rectangle. Spray the phyllo again and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of the cheese mixture; fold in 1/2 again to form a 6 by 8 1/2-inch rectangle. Spray the phyllo again and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of the cheese mixture; fold in 1/2 again to form a 6 by 4 1/4-inch rectangle. Spray again and sprinkle with just a bit of the cheese mixture; with a serrated knife, cut into 8 short strips. Transfer the strips to the baking sheet, placing them about 1/2-inch apart. Repeat the process 2 more times to make 24 cheese straws. Bake until the cheese straws are crisp and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

POPPY SEED-PARMESAN CHEESE STRAWS

Transfer dough to a large baking sheet; lightly brush with some of the beaten egg, then sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds. Gently press poppy seeds into dough with a rolling pin, taking care not to stretch the rectangle further. Refrigerate dough until firm, 10 to 15 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cheese, paprika, and a large pinch of salt; set aside.
• Invert the dough onto the work surface, then brush uncoated side with remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese mixture; use a rolling pin to gently press cheese mixture into the dough. Return dough to baking sheet, cheese side up; chill until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.

Twist each strip, then transfer to two large unlined baking sheets, pressing the ends onto the sheet to hold their shape. Refrigerate strips until firm, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until straws are light golden, 20 to 24 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cheese straws are best eaten the day they are made, but they can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If desired, reheat in a 200°F oven for about 20 minutes.
