Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt.

Prepare Pastry

Unroll the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface of the pastry with the whisked egg. Sprinkle evenly with the grated cheese, then season with salt, pepper, and if using, paprika powder to taste.

Bake

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips approximately 1-1.5 cm wide and 10-12 cm long. Arrange the sticks on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Extra Tips

► If you like spicy flavors, you can sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes alongside the cheese.

► You can twist the sticks before baking for an even more exciting shape.

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Parmesan or smoked cheese, for a unique flavor.
