makes 32

Ingredients
· 3/4 teaspoon paprika
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
· 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
· 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
· 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
· 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
· 2 egg whites
· 1 17-1/4-ounce package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed
· 1-1/2 cups finely shredded smoked provolone or smoked Swiss and cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
· 3 tablespoons water
 
Directions
1. Combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger,
 cardamom, oregano, and ground red pepper. Set aside.
2. Gently beat egg whites with water; set aside. Lightly grease a
cookie sheet; set aside.
3. Unfold the pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Brush
 them with some of the egg mixture. Sprinkle one-fourth of shredded
cheese over each sheet. Fold sheets in half and flatten to 12x6-inch
rectangles with a rolling pin. Brush tops with more egg mixture and
sprinkle each with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with spice mixture,
 dividing it equally. Fold and flatten each into a 12x4-inch rectangle;
 press the edges together to seal. Cut each folded sheet crosswise
into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Twist ends of each strip in opposite
directions several times. Place on prepared cookie sheet.
 Brush lightly with egg mixture.
4. Bake in a 425 degree F oven about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
