this is an australian recipe so 1 T = 4 t. (not 3 t.)

================================
smoked cheese and bacon straws
make about 40

4 bacon rashers, finely chopped
2 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 spring onions (scallion), chopped
1 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 t. paprika

cook bacon in a med. pan, stirring until crisp; drain on absorbent paper. brush pastry sheets with a little egg, sprinkle quarter of the cheese over 1/2 of each sheet, leaving 1 cm border. sprinkle with combined bacon, onion, parsley, paprika and remaining cheese.
Fold sheets in 1/2 to enclose filling, press lightly together, brush surface with a little more egg. cut crossways into 1cm strips, twist strips, place about 3 cm apart onto greased oven trays.
bake in moderately hot oven (400F/200C) for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned; cool on wire racks.
