LOVE IT OR HATE IT - MARMITE AND CHEESE STRAWS WITH A TWIST!



Love It or Hate It - Marmite and Cheese Straws With a Twist! image

Another one of my daughter's recipes - she always makes these for us when she is home. Cheesy, crispy and flaky pastry straws with a lick of marmite - great for pre-dinner drinks, picnics, lunch boxes or snacks. The Marmite company has a very clever advert that announces that you either LOVE Marmite or HATE it! I love it, that's why it has been added to these delicious Cheese Straws........however, if you HATE it - I have suggested alternatives. My daughter only ever uses Marmite in her cheese straws - but then she is also a Marmite lover! Serve these in a tall glass for tasty appetiser nibbles - if you are using the other flavours, you can lable the glasses so Marmite haters can be pre-warned! Have fun! (For all my Aussie friends - PLEASE use Vegemite if you REALLY have to!!!)

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 32 Cheese and Marmite Straws, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh puff pastry
flour
2 tablespoons marmite
8 ounces mature cheddar cheese, finely grated
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste (optional)
2 tablespoons gentlemen's relish (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh pesto sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
  • Divide the packet of puff pastry into four and use one portion at a time (popping the rest back in the fridge).
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll each portion to a rectangle measuring about 31cm x 21cm.
  • Spread the pastry with the marmite and then sprinkle with a quarter of the grated cheese.
  • Fold the pastry over lengthways and press firmly together.
  • Cut about eight 1cm wide strips then cut each strip in half (so the straws aren't too long) and twist.
  • Arrange on baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes before cooking or freeze until ready to cook, then bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up - the cheese will also have melted.
  • Trim the ends of the straws and carefully stand in glasses for a spectacular way of serving the straws.
  • Alternatively, freeze the uncooked straws in baking sheets lined with parchment and cook from frozen when your guests arrive - you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cheese straws. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a more subtle taste.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help prevent the cheese straws from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Work quickly: The dough for cheese straws is best when it is cold, so work quickly to prevent it from warming up too much.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cheese straws hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cheese straws until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Cheese straws are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of cheese straws that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give cheese straws a try!
