Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • One package (14 ounce) store-bought or homemade all-butter puff pastry
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Comté or Gruyere cheese
  • 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • Flaky sea salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Move the puff pastry to a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 20-by-10-inch (50 by 25 cm) rectangle (about 1/8 inch [4 mm] thick).☞TESTER TIP: If your puff pastry comes in a slightly larger package, increase the amount of cheese and sesame seeds slightly.
  • Sprinkle the Comté and sesame seeds on one long half of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1/4-inch [6 mm] border around the edges. Fold the other half over the cheese-and-sesame filling. Cut the dough crosswise into 32 strips (each about 2/3-inch by 5-inches [17 mm by 12 cm]).
  • Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheets. Place one sheet in the refrigerator while working on the second sheet. Working with one strip at a time, brush lightly with the beaten egg. Twist each strip and sprinkle with salt. Transfer the sheet of twists to the refrigerator and repeat with the remaining dough strips.
  • Bake until deeply golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
