Asiago Peppercorn

Replace the cheddar with Asiago and reduce the Parmesan to 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the cheese straws with fennel seeds and crushed pink peppercorns before baking.

Provolone-Olive

Brush only 1 pastry sheet with egg wash in step 1; brush the other with olive tapenade. Replace the cheddar with aged provolone.

Pepper Jack-Chile

Replace the cheddar with 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper Jack and omit the Parmesan. Add 1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder and 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder to the cheese mixture.
