The 3 Ingredient Cheese Sticks

Alright, folks, gather ’round for a twisted tale of culinary mischief with a side of cheesy mayhem! We’re diving headfirst into the mysterious world of cheese twists. It’s like a cheesy magic trick that’ll leave your taste buds applauding and your waistline doing a standing ovation. Here’s what you need:

Ingredients for the Cheesy Twists:

1 sheet of puff pastry, rolled out to a thickness that’s slimmer than your average pancake (about 1/4 inch or 0.5 cm, if you want to get all technical)

4 hearty handfuls of mixed shredded cheese (I went with 3 handfuls of cheddar and 1 handful of parmesan)

1 egg (optional, but why not join the egg-citing adventure?)

Ingredients for the Garlic Butter Drama:

3 tablespoons or 50 g of butter, melted (butter makes everything better, right?)

2-3 garlic cloves (because we’re in a committed relationship with garlic)

A teeny, tiny pinch of salt (seasoned to perfection)

A sprinkle of chopped parsley (we’re fancy like that)

Now, for the Play-By-Play:

First things first, let’s heat that oven up to 190°C or 375°F. We’re turning up the heat because this show’s about to get spicy!

Take your puff pastry and treat it like it’s your canvas. Sprinkle that cheese magic all over it, making sure it’s spread evenly. Then, use your rolling pin (or your artistic hands) to press it down. Fold the pastry in half like you’re tucking it in for a cozy cheese nap, and then give it another roll until it’s about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. We’ve just created a cheese sandwich – fancy, huh?

Now, grab that egg and whisk it with a couple of tablespoons of water. Give your pastry a lovely egg wash. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, sprinkle some flaky salt on top, add more cheese (because why not?), or go wild with everything bagel seasoning. The more, the merrier!

It’s time for the big twist! Cut that pastry into strips, then channel your inner contortionist and twist each strip like you’re auditioning for a cheese-themed Cirque du Soleil. Place these cheesy acrobats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Now, let them show off in the oven for 20-30 minutes until they’re golden brown. It’s like a cheesy Olympics out there!

While your twists are getting all golden and crispy, whip up the garlic butter drama. Mix the melted butter, garlic (the star of our show), parsley, and just a smidge of salt in a bowl. As soon as those cheesy twists make their grand exit from the oven, give them a brush with the garlic butter magic, and serve them up. It’s a cheesy twist party, and you’re the host with the most flavor!

There you have it, a culinary caper that’ll have you craving more twists than a Hollywood blockbuster plot. So, go ahead and indulge – you’ve earned your stripes in the cheesy twist saga!
