Spicy Cheese Straws

2 Packages (8 Oz. / 227 g) Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
1 Tbsp. / 15 ml Watkins Paprika
1/2 teas. / 2.5 ml Watkins Thyme
3/4 teas. / 4 ml Watkins Cajun Pepper
1/4 teas. / 1.2 ml Watkins Garlic Granules
1/4 teas. / 1.2 ml Freshly Ground Watkins Sea Salt
1 Large Egg White, slightly beaten
1 Cup / 250 ml Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 Cup / 60 ml Grated Parmesan Cheese

Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and place on lightly floured surface. Press perforations to seal. With floured rolling pin roll dough out into a 12 inch/30 cm square. Combine paprika, thyme, Cajun pepper, garlic granules and salt; mix well. Spray 2 large cookie sheets with Watkins Cooking Spray. Lightly brush dough with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with half of spice mixture and half of cheeses. With rolling pin, lightly roll cheeses and spice into dough. Fold dough over to cover cheese, forming a rectangle about 12 x 6 inch/30 x 15 cm. Lightly roll with rolling pin to seal layers. With pizza cutter or knife, cut pastry into 1/2 inch/2.5 cm strips. Place strips 1/2 inch/2.5 cm apart on prepared baking sheets, twisting each strip and pressing ends against cookie sheet to prevent uncurling. Bake at 375 F / 190 C for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining can of dough, egg, spice mixture and cheeses. (Makes 48 cheese straws, 2 per serving).
