Puff Pastry Straws – the photos

Here they are :

Brush your sheet with beaten egg and spread with the tapenade :

Sprinkle with the grated cheese :

Fold in half and press down gently :

Twist your straws and brush with beaten egg :

Here's the end result :

You can choose what size of straw you'd like – a long version which is approximately 30cm in length – with the pastry cut vertically – a shorter version which is approximately 15cm in length – with the pastry cut horizontally.

Personally I prefer the shorter version, they are easier to control when you are twisting into shape and more convenient to eat!

I've frozen a few just to see how they respond so further news to follow. I suspect this may be academic since they'll all be eaten but it might just be useful to make ahead and freeze – hmm.
