Ingredients

Plain flour, for rolling
2 x 320g packs Jus-Rol All Butter Puff Pastry Sheets
4 tbsp Waitrose Duchy Organic Wholegrain Mustard With A Touch Of Honey
75g Waitrose Duchy Organic Farmhouse Mature Cheddar, grated
75g Waitrose Duchy Organic Gruyère, grated
75g Waitrose Duchy Organic Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
1 British Blacktail Free Range Medium Egg, beaten

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. On a lightly floured surface, unroll 1 pack of pastry, then spread the mustard over it and scatter the cheeses on top, leaving a 2cm border around the edge.
Top with the other sheet of unrolled pastry, then roll together with a rolling pin to gently seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
Cut into 16 strips from 1 of the shorter edges, then twist into spirals. Place on 2 baking sheets. Cover and chill to firm, if needed. Bake 1 tray at a time for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Transfer to a cooling rack – they will crisp up further as they cool – and enjoy warm or cold.

Cook’s tip

225g Essential Mature Cheddar or a mix with Essential Parmesan would make great value-formoney and intensely cheesy cheese straws. Raw cheese straws can be chilled for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. Freeze on the baking sheets until solid, then move to a box or bag and freeze until needed. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
