Puff Pastry Cheese Stick Appetizers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board until it is 10- by 12-inches. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the surface of the pastry. Sprinkle each sheet evenly with 1¿4 cup of the Parmesan, 1¿2 cup of the Gruyère, 1¿2 teaspoon of the thyme, 1¿2 teaspoon of the salt, and some pepper. With the rolling pin, lightly press the flavorings into the puff pastry. Cut each sheet crosswise with a floured knife or pizza wheel into 11 or 12 strips. Twist each strip and lay on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffed. Turn each straw and bake for another 2 minutes. Don't over bake or the cheese will burn. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Crumble the oregano and salt in a small bowl using your hands and set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse meal. Add the cheese and 1 tablespoon ice water. Process until the mixture forms into a ball, adding extra water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. On a lightly-floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch-diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Form the dough into a flat disc and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the dough with the seasoned salt. Gently roll the salt into the dough using a rolling pin.
• Cut the dough into different shapes using the cookie cutters, and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until puffed and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Place a sheet of frozen puff pastry dough onto a floured work surface and allow dough to thaw just until it can be unfolded. Unfold dough into a flat sheet; brush top of puff pastry dough with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Sprinkle white Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese onto the dough, covering the surface. Top with a piece of plastic wrap; press cheese and seasonings firmly into the dough with your fingers or by laying a sheet pan onto the dough over the plastic and pressing it down.
• Remove plastic and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough down the seam lines into thirds; cut each third lengthwise into thirds for a total of 9 breadsticks.
• Pick up a dough strip, place it seasoned side down on the work surface, and twist from both ends 8 or 9 times to make a rolled tube of dough with the seasoned side out. Place breadsticks onto prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the sticks. Roll the sticks lightly to even up their shapes and pick up and press any dropped cheese onto the surfaces.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes; flip and continue baking until breadsticks are browned and crisp, 10 to 20 more minutes. If you pick up a stick by one end and it droops, bake for several more minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
• Beat eggs and put in pie plate or baking dish.
• Dip both sides of defrosted dough in beaten eggs and dredge lightly in herb-cheese mix.
• Place seasoned sheets of dough on waxed paper and using a pastry wheel, cut into 6" X 1" strips.
• Twist dough strips into spiral shape and place about 1" apart on foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake cheese sticks in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Then take a bowl, and a cheese grater (or food processor) and grate cheese into the bowl, or in the food processor.
• Add your herbs, garlic powder, pepper and sesame seeds to the cheese, and stir to combine.
• Beat eggs in a long baking dish.
• Dip both sides of defrosted dough in the beaten eggs and dredge it lightly in the cheese mixture.
• Then take the seasoned sheets of dough and place them on sheets of wax paper.
• Using a pastry wheel, cut dough into 6x1 inch strips.
• Then take those strips, and twist each of them into spiral shapes and place about 1 inch apart from one another on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake your cheese sticks in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
• Using a wide spatula, carefully remove from pan and serve.

Steps:

• Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature for about 20 minutes before unfolding.
• Place each rectangle on lightly floured board and cut out about 2 1/2 inch rounds with biscuit cutter.
• Prick rounds with a fork and bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350F for 18-20 minutes; cool.
• While the puffs are baking, beat together the cream cheese, herbs, seasoned salt and hot pepper sauce until well combined.
• When the pastry rounds are cool, slit through the middle but do not cut all the way through.
• Spread the inside of the pastries with the cream cheese mix and sprinkle with green pepper.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix and combine ricotta, mozzarella, Swiss cheese, sea salt, pepper and chives. Set aside.
• Cut six circles measuring approximately 7 cm in diameter from each sheet of puff pastry and then line the same number of muffin silicone moulds with the pastry, using your fingers to press the dough up the sides.
• Fill each basket evenly with the cheese and chive mixture and bake in the oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the filling melts.
• Allow the basket cool a little, remove them from silicone moulds, sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with cherry tomatoes.
