When I think of cheese straws, I think of a melt in your mouth savoury delight of flakey pastry and cheesey goodness! YES PLEASE!<\/p>\n
I, of course, had to make my own as I love all things cheese so it would be weird if I didn’t! I love how simple these are to make, kids can get involved and how you can eat them at any time of day and it be ok!<\/p>\n

These are one of the simplest yet most scrumptious snacks you can bake (or buy in a shop, but they’re so much better homemade) and they are so easy to do!<\/p>\n
You can buy all the ingredients ready made, or you can be adventurous and start from scratch completely.<\/p>\n

You can use shop brought pastry and shop brought pesto if you will find it easier – the great thing about this recipe is you can make it your way! <\/p>\n
Pesto is a wonderful thing and it is SO easy to make your own! I love making my own as I go through so much of it at home. Using simple ingredients like oil, pine nuts and basil, you get a delicious pesto that you can use as a sauce or a drizzle.<\/p>\n

I add pesto as a base spread to the pastry with my cheese straws as I love the combination of pesto and cheese together. Its great on pizza and pasta, and now it is tasty within these cheese straws!<\/p>\n
I use both cheddar and parmesan within these cheese straws. Cheddar is my favourite – I love a strong cheddar as I really want to taste the cheese throughout. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I add an equal amount of parmesan to the cheese straws to give it a slight cheesy sharpness. And also because pesto and parmesan together is just HEAVEN!!<\/p>\n
I hope you love this recipe as much as I enjoy eating the finished product! x<\/p>\n

Heat the oven to 220\u00baC\/200\u00baC fan and line baking trays with parchment paper.<\/span><\/div><\/li>If using ready made puff pastry, simply roll out to the thickness of a \u00a31 coin.<\/span><\/div><\/li>Spread your pesto evenly on to the pastry, this will make it easier to stick all the cheese down too!<\/span><\/div><\/li>Spread both the grated parmesan and cheddar over your pesto layer.<\/span><\/div><\/li>You can either cut them into 1cm strips now, or you can fold the pastry over so its half the size, then roll it back out to its original \u00a31 thickness, to then cut into 1cm strips. (This will keep more of the pesto & cheese on the inside - but either way is delicious!)<\/span><\/div><\/li>Once the pastry has been cut into strips, simply twist all pieces a few times (the more the merrier)!<\/span><\/div><\/li>Scatter over more cheese and bake for 12 minutes (or until nice and golden).<\/span><\/div><\/li>Leave to cool before serving, and enjoy!<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\tNotes<\/h3>
