- Grated cheddar cheese: 50g
- Poppy seed: 1 tbsp
- Chilli powder: 1 tbsp
Method:

- Sprinkle parmesan cheese over egg wash. Place 2nd pastry sheet on top of this.
- Sprinkle the rest of the ingredients over 2nd pastry sheet according to your preference.
- Place a greased baking sheet on top of toppings. Use a rolling pin to press the toppings down slightly.

- Pick up both ends of each stick and twist it gently.
- Place cheese sticks onto a greased baking paper.

Tricks:
- Use a stronger chilli powder if you really do want to be hit by the spiciness!

- Use stronger tasting cheese like Gruyere to enhance the cheesy flavour.
