  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     2/3           cup  Parmesan cheese; grated
  1         tablespoon  Paprika
  1            package  Frozen puff pastry (17 1/4 oz);
                        - thawed
  1                     Egg; slightly beaten

Heat oven to 425°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper
or heavy brown paper. Mix cheese and paprika. Roll 1 sheet of pastry
into rectangle, 12x10", on lightly floured surface with floured
cloth-covered rolling pin.

Brush pastry with egg. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the cheese
mixture. Press cheese mixture gently into pastry. Turn pastry over.
Repeat with egg and cheese mixture. Fold pastry lengthwise in half.

Cut pastry crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Unfold strips and roll
each end in opposite directions to twist. Place twists on cookie
sheet.

Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Repeat with
remaining sheet of pastry, egg and cheese mixture. Remove from cookie
sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool.
