Pesto Cheese Twists

Serve these as an appetizer, or with soup in place of crackers.

Makes sixteen 5-inch twists

1 tablespoon prepared pesto

1tablespoon grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese

1egg white, beaten until foamy

1sheet puff pastry, thawed at room temperature for 20-30 minutes

On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry until it measures 10 by 12 inches; use a pastry wheel to cut the puff pastry in half crosswise. Combine the pesto, grated cheese and half the beaten egg white (discard the remaining egg white). Spread the pesto mixture evenly over one of the half sheets using an offset spatula; top with the second half sheet. Use a rolling pin to lightly roll together. With the pastry wheel, cut the sheet in half crosswise, then cut each piece into eight strips, 1/2 x 6 inches each. Twist each strip 3 – 4 times; pinch ends to seal. Place on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Ten minutes before baking, place the rack in position “B”; preheat the Cuisinart® Classic Toaster Oven Broiler to 425°F. Line the broiler pan (without drip tray) with a sheet of parchment paper.

Arrange 8 strips evenly on the parchment lined pan. Bake for 11-13 minutes at 425° F until puffed and crispy. Remove from the pan with tongs or a spatula and place on a rack to cool. Arrange the second batch on the same baking sheet and repeat. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
