Roll out puff pastry dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut into long strips 4 inch wide. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with an even coating of cheese and almonds. With a rolling pin, lightly press the mixture into the dough. Cut the strips crosswise into 3/4 inch strips. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
