Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, a large egg, and a sprinkle of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a touch of dried basil.
Mix until a dough forms.
Spread the dough onto the baking sheet, shaping it into breadsticks.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Switch the oven to broil for an additional minute for a crispy finish.
Let cool slightly, slice into breadsticks, and enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough mixture. If you have picky eaters, consider omitting the basil or Italian seasoning and sticking to just garlic powder for a milder flavor. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or a blend of Italian cheeses, to suit your family’s taste preferences.
