I love these as a snack or with a meal! They make great appetizers, too! Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese with vegetables, softened |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (16 ounce) box phyllo dough, thawed |
8 tablespoons butter, melted |
store-bought basil pesto, for dipping |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lightly beaten egg, parmesan, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Spoon mixture into a plastic zip-top bag. Set aside. To use as a pastry bag, cut corner off bag to make a 1/4-inch diameter opening.
4. Lay out thawed phyllo dough.
5. Working quickly to keep dough from drying out: brush top sheet with melted butter, pipe cheese filling along long edge of phyllo 1/2-inch from each end. Fold over ends to seal in filling and roll up straw. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo and place on a baking sheet.
6. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
7. Makes 20 straws.
8. Serve warm with pesto for dipping.
