We satisfy salty snackers' appetites with these fun cheesy twists. Be extra generous with the freshly ground black pepper if you want to turn up the heat. These come together easily; there's no need to make any dough from scratch, here, we use store-bought phyllo dough for convenience's sake. Layer the pastry with egg white, Parmesan cheese, and plain breadcrumbs, then fold it all in half and cut into a bunch of strips. The process goes fast with a sharp pastry wheel or pizza cutter. Get your kids or friends and family to help with twisting each strip. Letting the twists bake in the oven results in a crispy texture and golden brown crust. You'll love them so much, you'll serve them as an appetizer for every dinner party you have from now on.
