Cheese Twists
Makes 40
• 1 Tbsp crushed garlic
• 1 cup grated parmesan
• 2 tsp oregano or thyme
• 1/8 tsp chilli
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
• 2 sheets pre-rolled puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg
1. Preheat an oven to 200C.
2. In a small bowl mix the garlic, parmesan, oregano, chilli, oil, salt, pepper and basil.
3. Place the pastry sheets on a lightly floured bench. Shape each piece into a rectangle the same size. Brush both with egg. Spread one sheet with the cheese mixture right to the edges.
4. Place the other sheet on top, egg against the cheese. Gently press the pastry together. Cut lengthways down the middle of the pastry. Now cut crossways in strips 1cm wide.
5. Twist each strip and place on to two or three lined baking trays.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
