How to make cheese straws | Recipe | Sainsbury's

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still providing flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough

Whole wheat adds fiber, while homemade can reduce costs.

egg

🥗Healthier: flax egg

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flax egg is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Brush beaten egg all over the puff pastry to help the cheese stick.

Scatter cheese over the pastry and pat it down.

Use a pasta wheel or knife to cut the pastry into strips.

Place the strips in the fridge for 30 minutes until cold.

Dust the surface with flour and take one straw.

Curl the ends of the straw, one away from you and one towards you, forming a twist.

Roll the straw, stretching the pastry until it reaches the desired length.

Cut the straw in half.

Place the cheese straws in a preheated oven at 220°C.

Turn the heat down for the last few minutes to ensure they cook through.
