Dust the counter with 1/4 cup of grated mixed hard cheese. Unfold or unroll the first of 2 store-bought puff pastry sheets onto the cheese and sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over it.

Cut the pastry into strips, transfer to a baking sheet, and twist. Chill for 10 minutes to an hour. (Prep the second puff pastry sheet during this time.)

Bake 15 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese straws are puffed and crispy, feel dry to the touch, and are deep golden brown.
