Cheesy bread sticks

  • 250g puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional)
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and cover two baking sheets with baking paper.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out to a 30cm square. Brush this with the egg mixture.
  3. Sprinkle the cheese and paprika over this evenly and press down gently so it adheres to the pastry.
