Breadsticks are the perfect appetizer or side dish to have on your dinner table! Using puff pastry makes it even easier so you can get these on the table in 15 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry
  • 2 tablespoons of salted melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of basil
  • 2 tablespoons of oregano
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup of parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of water

Recipe

  1. Take out the puff pastry sheet and let it thaw.
  2. Once it’s at room temp, roll it out so it’s slightly bigger than it originally was.
  3. Brush on the melted butter onto the sheet until everything is completely covered.
  4. Sprinkle over the mozzarella first, and then half of the parmesan cheese.
  5. Chop up the herbs and evenly sprinkle them over as well.
  6. Using the rolling pin, press the filling into the puff pastry so it all stays together.
  7. Cut to the sheet up into 12 equal strips and twist each one from the center to create a pretty twisted breadstick.
  8. Put the breadsticks on a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
  9. Then, brush on an egg wash of 1 beaten egg with the teaspoon of water and use the rest of the parmesan cheese to cover the breadsticks.
  10. Cook for 10 minutes at 400 F until golden and enjoy!
