Cheese Straws

Cheese Straws are crisp, golden puff pastry twists layered with mustard, miso paste, fresh thyme, mature Cheddar and red Leicester. They take a familiar savoury bake and give it a deeper, more modern flavour profile, with the miso and mustard adding richness while the two cheeses create a bold, comforting finish.

The method is simple and highly useful for home cooks: ready-rolled puff pastry is filled, layered, twisted, coated with extra cheese and frozen before baking. This gives the recipe a strong practical hook because the cheese straws can be made ahead and baked straight from frozen whenever needed.
