Time 1h10m

Yield 14 cheese straws

Number Of Ingredients 6

All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
One 13-ounce package puff pastry
1 tablespoon prepared English mustard
14 strips good-quality streaky bacon
3 ounces mature Cheddar, grated
1 free-range egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the puff pastry into a large rectangle, 1/4-inch-thick.
  • Rotate the pastry so that the longer side is facing you. Spread the mustard evenly over the pastry. Lay the bacon slices on the pastry, long side facing you, leaving a small gap in between each slice. Trim any messy edges that spill over the puff pastry, to neaten the rectangle into a straighter edge. Sprinkle the Cheddar over the bacon. Cut in between each slice to form individual pastry-bacon strips.
  • Carefully twist each strip 4 or 5 times, so it looks like a curly straw. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Chill in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the twists from the fridge and brush a second time with beaten egg. Bake until the pastry is well risen and golden-brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Overall, I thought these straws were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either.

I had a hard time getting the straws to stay together. I would recommend using a stronger cheese or adding an egg to the dough.

The straws were a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend brushing them with melted butter before baking.

I found that the straws were a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon or a lower-sodium cheese.

These straws are a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have a few strips in the fridge and these are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I loved these straws. The cheddar cheese and flaky pastry were the perfect balance.
