Ingredients:
| 1 sheet | frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package, such as pepperidge farm), thawed |
| 1 tablespoon | butter, melted |
| 1 cup | grated cheddar |
| 1 teaspoon | cayenne |
| 3/4 cup | grated parmesan |
| 1 | large egg |
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Lightly roll out the sheet of pastry into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, then brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle over the Cheddar, cayenne and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Using the rolling pin, press the cheese into the pastry. Cut the pastry into 12 strips. Twist each strip about 5 times and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, brush the strips with the mixture and sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes.
