"Hi, this is Dave for Expert Village. Today we're going to make Coquille St. Jacquez. As a bonus to our coquille St. Jacquez we do have some puff pastry left over and I'm going to show you how to make some cheese twist. So you're going to cut about another half panel or sheet of that then you just go ahead and about a 1/2" just run your knife lengthwise. You want a little separation when we put it in the pan so we might as do it now, I can make a couple of more out of here so let's make this one fatter. What you want to do is get your cookie sheet and in the mean time you want to have the 350 degree oven already with the Coquille St Jaquez when that comes out it will be hot and probably be hot already. Pop that in as we take our Coquille out these will only take a few minutes too and what you want to do is use oil or go ahead and use a spray so they won't stick. It has a lot of butter in the pastry already so it probably wouldn't but might as well be safe than sorry so what you can do is lay these down flat or just sort of twist them. They will puff up as we put them in the oven, so twist back and forth."
