Ingredients
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1
sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (one 14-oz. package Dufour or half of 17.3-oz. package Pepperidge Farm; difference in yield depends on brand)
1
large egg, beaten
21/2Tbsp.
Cajun seasoning
1/2cup
labneh
Lime zest, for sprinkling
Directions
Step 1Heat oven to 400°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, lightly pressing to adhere.
Step 2Cut dough crosswise into strips 3/4 inch wide; twist each a few times and transfer to prepared sheets, spacing strips evenly and pressing ends of each onto parchment (this will help prevent unraveling during baking).
Step 3Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Serve with labneh, sprinkled with lime zest.
