Garlicky Herb and Cheese Straws

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375F.

2. 2

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Carefully roll the puff pastry out to about 10x12 inches.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the hot sauce into the beaten egg and brush it on the surface of the pastry.

5. 5

   Evenly sprinkle with cheese, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper and press lightly with a rolling pin to secure the toppings.

6. 6

   With a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the puff pastry into 3/4-inch strips.

7. 7

   Note: If you have extra time, place pastry back into the fridge for about 15 minutes so that the next step is easier.

8. 8

   Twirl each strip several times from both ends so it looks like a twist straw.

9. 9

   Bake for 6 minutes and flip the straws over and bake for another 6 minutes or until golden brown, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.

10. 10

    Cool before serving.
