Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning for garnish
  • 1/4 cup low-sugar marinara or pizza sauce for dipping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and garlic powder and mix until a thick, sticky mixture forms.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a flat rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, set, and lightly golden.
  5. Switch the oven to broil and move the baking sheet to the top rack.
  6. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then slice into breadstick-style strips with a pizza cutter.
  8. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and parsley or Italian seasoning, and serve warm with low-sugar marinara if desired.

Notes

- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking; the cheesy base will be difficult to remove from an unlined pan.
- For crisper edges, spread the mixture slightly thinner and broil a bit longer, watching carefully.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer at 325–350°F until warmed through.
- Avoid reheating in the microwave if possible, as it can make the breadsticks soft and rubbery.
