  A bit disappointed. All the cheese fel out whilst twisting them and even though I put loads of parmesan over the top of them on the baking sheet they still came out just tasting of pastry

  Love, love, love these! I spread a thin layer of marmite before add in the cheese for a great little twist! Everyone who has tried these wants more!

  These were a little lacklustre in taste but looked great. I may next time add some mustard powder to the rolled out dough, or a stronger tasting cheese, or even some garlic like one of the other reviewers mentioned. I might also egg wash them as well to make them shinier as the pastry is so flaky it looks a little dull.

  Easy to make but lacked in flavour. Will add extra cheese next time and maybe some other suggested ingredients

  Made these yesterday. I used a mature cheddar cheese and added pepper and about 1 tsp of mustard powder. They took about 12 mins to cook and came out great, lovely cheese taste and really crispy. Will make again for son's up coming 18th Birthday party.

  Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/2inch thick and cover with a layer of crumbled blue Stilton cheese. If the cheese is moist it can be spread over - don't be shy with the cheese! Sprinkle with cayenne pepper, or dried herbs, or mild curry powder, whatever takes your fancy. Roll up the pastry (not folded) inot a log then roll out again to about the thickness of a pound coin. Cut and cook as described before.

  Thought they were great, experimented with temp & timings to get them just right. Going to cut them a bit thicker than 1cm, and put salt on the top too.

  My husband could burn a salad, so to make these perfectly, they must be easy. What is more, they were delicious. (he) Will definitely be making again!

  Found it better not to twist them as cheese kept falling out. Used mature cheese and grated onion with Parmesan on top . Delicious !!!!!!

  Made these for an impromptu party. Took the advice about adding mustard powder and v. strong cheddar; also glazed with milk which helped the parmesan to stick. Lots of compliments and quick to make.
