MAKES ABOUT 24 14" STRAWS
Serve these clever little appetizers instead of bread at lunchtime or for supper.
3⁄4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Dust work surface with 1/4 cup of the parmigiano-reggiano. Lay unfolded sheet of puff pastry on top of cheese, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup more grated cheese. Gently roll dough out with a rolling pin, pressing cheese into dough, to a thickness of about 1/8". Dust with more cheese as needed.
2. Cut pastry into long 1/2"-wide strips. Give each strip several twists, then lay 1/2" apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from paper and serve.
