Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or ½ cup if using grated parmesan)
- Optional: a little sharp cheddar cheese mixed with mozzarella, total 1 cup
Other Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Breadsticks: Place the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten it evenly into a shape similar to a pizza crust, ensuring it’s about the desired thickness for breadsticks.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes until the mixture is set and starting to brown.
- Broil for Browning: Switch the oven setting to broil, move the baking sheet to the top rack, and broil for a few minutes until the cheese becomes golden and slightly crisp on top.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the breadsticks with a pizza cutter, and enjoy them warm. Serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping, and optionally garnish with red pepper flakes, parsley flakes, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Notes
- If available, mix a little sharp cheddar with the mozzarella (keeping total cheese quantity to 1 cup) for added flavor.
- If using grated parmesan instead of shredded, reduce the amount to about ½ cup to avoid overpowering flavor and texture.
