Time 40m

Yield 20 straws

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese with vegetables, softened
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) box phyllo dough, thawed
8 tablespoons butter, melted
store-bought basil pesto, for dipping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375º.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lightly beaten egg, parmesan, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Spoon mixture into a plastic zip-top bag. Set aside. To use as a pastry bag, cut corner off bag to make a 1/4-inch diameter opening.
  • Lay out thawed phyllo dough.
  • Working quickly to keep dough from drying out: brush top sheet with melted butter, pipe cheese filling along long edge of phyllo 1/2-inch from each end. Fold over ends to seal in filling and roll up straw. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Makes 20 straws.
  • Serve warm with pesto for dipping.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I still really enjoyed these cheese straws. The phyllo dough is so crispy and flaky.

These are a great party food because they can be eaten hot or cold. I also like to serve them with a side of marinara sauce.

I love that these cheese straws can be made ahead of time. I usually make them the night before and then bake them the next day.

I've had these at a restaurant before and was so excited to find a recipe to make them at home. They turned out just as good as I remembered.

These are a great way to use up leftover pesto. I also like to add some shredded Parmesan cheese to the filling.
