Few nibbles go down as well (or are as simple to make) as cheese straws, these made by Will Torrent. To make ahead, either chill or freeze, then bake when you want them.

Triple cheese & mustard straws

Plain flour, for rolling

320 g packs Jus-Rol All Butter Puff Pastry Sheets

g Waitrose Duchy Organic Farmhouse Mature Cheddar, grated

75 g Waitrose Duchy Organic Gruyère, grated

g Waitrose Duchy Organic Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated

British Blacktail Free Range Medium Egg, beaten

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. On
a lightly floured surface, unroll 1 pack of pastry,
then spread the mustard over it and scatter the
cheeses on top, leaving a 2cm border around
the edge.

Step 2

Top with the other sheet of unrolled pastry,
then roll together with a rolling pin to gently
seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg.

Step 3

Cut into 16 strips from 1 of the shorter edges,
then twist into spirals. Place on 2 baking sheets.
Cover and chill to firm, if needed. Bake 1 tray
at a time for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and
golden. Transfer to a cooling rack – they will
crisp up further as they cool – and enjoy warm
or cold. 

Will Torrent's recipe pulls together all the elements from the brunch favourite between soft bread and butter – an outstanding egg sandwich if ever there was one.

Eggs royale sandwiches

Waitrose Duchy Organic British Free Range Medium Eggs

tbsp hollandaise sauce

g chives, chopped

slice/s

g butter

120 g Waitrose Duchy Organic Smoked Salmon

Handful washed and ready to eat spinach or lamb’s lettuce

Place the eggs in a saucepan in which they
will fit snugly, add a pinch of salt and cover
with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce
the heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Drain and
run under cold water, changing the water a
couple of times, for about 10 minutes, or until
completely cold. 

Peel the eggs, finely chop and tip into a bowl.
Add the hollandaise sauce and chives, season
and mix to combine. 

Lay the bread on the work surface and
spread with butter. Lay slices of the smoked
salmon over ½ the bread, then divide the egg
mixture on top, spreading it evenly. 

Step 4

Top with the spinach or lettuce and the
other bread slices, butter-side down, and
gently press together. Cut each sandwich into
8 bitesized triangles and serve.

This princely selection of some of Will Torrent's favourite British cheeses and savoury bites will look spectacular set on a large board, surrounded by fruit, celery, biscuits, pickles, Duchy meats, olives or antipasti.
