Ingrédients

• All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Lightly flour your work surface then unfold the sheets of puff pastry and roll each into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Brush the sheets of puff pastry with the egg wash.

3. 3

   Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan, gruyere and poppy seeds atop the puff pastry, then use a rolling pin to lightly roll the toppings into the pastry.

4. 4

   Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut each sheet of puff pastry into 1-inch strips. Twist the strips then arrange them on the baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart. Refrigerate the straws for 10 minutes.

   Bake the straws until they are golden brown and puffed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the straws from the oven and let them cool before serving.
