Makes 4 dozen pastry straws
Ingredients
1 package (17-1/4 ounces) frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
1-1/3 cups French's® French Fried Onions
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 egg, beaten
   
Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes (per baking sheet)
Thaw pastry at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes or until dough rolls easily.* Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheets with foil. Grease foil.
Combine French Fried Onions, cheese and seasonings in large resealable plastic food storage bag; seal. Press with rolling pin until onions are finely crushed.
Unfold 1 pastry sheet on floured board. Roll into 14×10-inch rectangle. Brush pastry with portion of beaten egg. Sprinkle half of the onion mixture evenly over pastry. Press onion mixture firmly into pastry with rolling pin.
Cut pastry into 1/2-inch-wide strips with pastry wheel or sharp knife. Twist strips into spirals. Place 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets, pressing ends down. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and onion mixture. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
*If dough becomes soft, refrigerate 10 minutes.
 
Oniony Palmiers   Follow directions above except do not cut pastry into strips. Tightly roll each sheet of pastry from long edges in toward center, jelly-roll style until edges meet in center. Brush "log" with egg. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if desired. Cut "log" crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place pieces cut-side up on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and puffed. Makes 48 palmiers.
 
Tip   Turn ordinary savory muffins and quick breads into extraordinary treats by adding French Fried Onions to the batters before baking.
