"These are quick, fabulous, and definitely a crowd pleaser :) hope you enjoy them! They will keep in a tightly covered container for about 4 days, but they are best served right from the oven. Instead of using the herbs you can also try this recipe using poppy seeds or caraway seeds!"

REALLY GOOD!!!! I did a few things differently that saved dishes and time if anyone is interested. 1. I just used whipped egg whites and "painted" both sides rather than using a long baking dish. 2. I used parchment paper to bake them on and they come off very easily! 3. If the pastery you use comes frozen in rolls on wax paper, leave the sheet of pastry on the paper, paint with egg white and sprinkle with the cheese mix. Then place a piece of wax paper over the sheet and "Flip" it over. Remove the origional sheet of paper and repeat. Then cut and twist and bake. I ran out of the suggested cheese so mixed in chedder and it was good too. Lots of flexibility with this recipe. It's great.

These are delicious. If you make them ahead of time, pop them back in a warm oven before serving. They are much, much better when re-crisped. They don't need to be served warm, they are just a lot better when crispy.

Made this as directed when I wanted to use up some left over puff pastry I had. It was really easy, looked impressive and nice and light with good flavors from the spices and cheese. Certainly was easy to make and a quick appy to take over to a friends house. Everyone enjoyed and there was none left over to bring home. A nice different appetizer that I'll making again

I would have given this 5 Stars, but it stuck to the foil. Next time I will place on the stone directly. Very good!!

These were good bread sticks, though I personally found them lacking a bit of flavor like salt. I wound up grinding some Garlic Sea Salt on them and that adapted them to my family's taste. Very pretty outcome with the twist.
