    Crispy, flaky, cheesy, pesto filled and bacon-wrapped. This is the next generation of puff pastry cheese straws and they need you. This is more of an assemble then bake situation rather than actually put in real work (lazy baking 101)! And of course, as always, everything is from Aldi UK.

    Ingredients for making puff pastry cheese straws. All ingredients from Aldi UK.

    First, let's talk ingredients. You're going to need...

    1. Puff Pastry sheets (they come already rolled out)
    2. Mozzarella cheese
    3. parmesan or Grana Padano cheese
    4. Pesto
    5. Pancetta

    Step 1 & 2 of making cheese straws using Aldi Ingredients.

    Puff Pastry Cheese Straws Step By Step

    • Unroll the pastry. Cut a sheet of baking paper and cover with ½ the mozzarella and some parmesan.
    • Lay the puff pastry over the cheese and gently press down so the cheese will stick to the pastry.
    • Spread some pesto on to the top side of the puff pastry and cover with the remaining mozzarella and some more parmesan.

    Step 2 & 3 of making puff pastry cheese straws using Aldi ingredients.

    • Cut the pastry into 1-inch strips and gently wrap with the bacon. Place the twists on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the bacon is crispy.

    And that's it! Yes. I know these puff pastry straws are just begging to be dunked into some steaming hot soup that you made with your own 2 hands.

    Maybe, just maybe... tomorrow all the soup dreams will be coming true.

    But for now. Just know that you will love these in all their flaky, cheesy, pesto filled glory!
