Parmesan Pesto Twists


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 33
Yield: 10 twists

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen phyllo pastry leaf thawed (10 x 14 inches)
1/4 cup pesto
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

Turn toaster oven to convection bake at 350 degrees (or bake at 400 degrees).

Place puff pastry on a flat surface and pierce every 2 inches with a fork. Spread pesto sauce over pastry sheet. Fold sheet in half widthwise and then roll out to 10 x 14 inches.

Sprinkle on cheese and pat with fingers so that cheese sticks to pastry. Cut into 1-inch strips.

Place half of the strips about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet, twisting like a rope, so that there is a twist every inch or so. Brush strips with egg mixture. Press ends of strips to adhere to pan so strips will not move during baking. Bake in oven, near the top, for 8–10 minutes, or until slightly puffed and golden brown. Repeat using remaining strips. Makes 10 twists.
