How to Make the Best Cheese Straws | What's Cooking | Southern Living

For many hosts it just isn’t a proper gathering without a plate of crispy homemade cheese sticks. Super-sharp yet subtly seasoned cheese sticks are a great appetizer for any occasion and can transform a casual meal or snack session into something special. Make a batch of these cheese sticks or cheese sticks for a simple yet impressive appetizer or favor — your guests won’t be disappointed.

These pastry-light cheese sticks get their rich flavor from a blend of cheddar and parmesan and the optional cayenne pepper adds a subtle kick. Go ahead and multiply your ingredients because one batch of these just won't make it.

This cheese straw base is easy to make especially if you push it through a cookie press. If you want the straws to stick better stir an egg yolk into the batter.
