Puff Pastry Sticks

Get this super easy 2-in-1 Puff Pastry Sticks recipe that is perfect for snacks or appetizers. 

I got the idea for this recipe when I attended a dear friend, Tami's birthday party. She served the bacon and cheese sticks version of it as a finger food. Armin and I loved it so much and I thought it was a brilliant idea for the blog. Simple, easy and very tasty!   

Since I made some jars of basil pesto from the newly harvested basils from our garden, I thought it would be a nice alternative or addition, so you can serve both meat lovers and vegetarian/vegan friends in just one prep.

This batch, I made for my friend, Hazel's birthday. It is common here in Germany to invite friends and relatives for 'Kaffee und Kuchen' (coffee and cake) for special occasions. It is also a usual practice for guests to bring food, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bring this recipe to a test. Ok, it was also because I do not have the time to make a cake and I already packed most of my baking stuff in preparation to move. I also thought that since most would bring cakes and sweets, I should bring something savory.  

You definitely don't need to break a sweat to make this delectable savory treat. I made them in the morning and it only took me some minutes to prepare these Puff Pastry Sticks. I used three sheets of puff pastry and I was able to make at least 20 sticks from each. It was a hit at Hazel's tea party as it stayed firm and crunchy even after some hours.
