Notes
Thaw the pastry completely: Make sure it's thawed completely before making the cheese twists.
Handle with care: It's easy to snap these delicate cheese twists, so be careful (you can always eat any accidentally broken ones!)
Make them ahead: These stay fresh for days so feel free to make them in advance if you're going to be busy.
Use a pizza wheel: A sharp pizza wheel cuts through the pastry and cheese if you prefer to use that over a knife.
