In our house, someone is always looking for something to nibble on! Usually I will have sweet treats or leftover dessert from the previous night.

But I must admit, I rarely have something savory.

These Cheese and Mustard Straws are so easy to make – only three ingredients and some beaten egg.

By chance, if you happen to find a salty treat in my kitchen, it will most likely be a packet of potato chips. Or maybe some Salticrax biscuits (but nothing to dip in or even a spread ! )

There is the Cheese Gougeres which I sometimes make (hubby loves these), but that takes a bit of time.

Not too long though ! These Cheese and Mustard straws are much quicker and just as addictive. Although hubby still prefers his Cheese Gougeres!

However, he does not stop eating these cheesy straws and always say they are very tasty.

Depending on the occasion, I make the Cheese and Mustard Straws in various lengths. As part of a savory party platter, you can make the Straws smaller.

We normally have them as a little something before dinner, usually when we did not have lunch. Then I make long straws.

The size you end up after twisting the pastry, is just about the size it will be once baked. Not much shrinkage or puffing up a lot.

Therefore you will have an idea of exactly how many, and which size/s you can expect to serve your guests. Cheese Straws are always a winner at parties or any get together, so keep that in mind.

Ours are always one of the first savory treats to go !

These keep well in an airtight container for a few days. (in case you want to make more than one batch at a time, because one batch will not last long!)

I’m going to make these today during the game. I’m going to sprinkle bacon bits on the cheese before twisting them. Just cause Bacon goes with everything. 🤤
