👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
2

In a bowl, mix cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Ensure the cheese mixture is well combined.
3

Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Brush the beaten egg over the entire surface.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: The egg wash helps the cheese stick to the pastry.
4

Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, gently pressing it down.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Ensure an even layer of cheese for consistent flavor.
5

Cut the pastry into strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Twist each strip and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Twisting the strips adds a decorative touch.
6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese sticks are puffed and golden brown.

⏱️ 18 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
7

Serve warm and enjoy!
