These super-simple breadsticks are easy, cheesy, and there's no dough to make because we're going to use frozen puff pastry for this. They're very cool for entertaining.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Pastries

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry
2 teaspoons olive oil (preferably drained from a tin of anchovies)
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Place a sheet of frozen puff pastry dough onto a floured work surface and allow dough to thaw just until it can be unfolded. Unfold dough into a flat sheet; brush top of puff pastry dough with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Sprinkle white Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese onto the dough, covering the surface. Top with a piece of plastic wrap; press cheese and seasonings firmly into the dough with your fingers or by laying a sheet pan onto the dough over the plastic and pressing it down.
  • Remove plastic and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough down the seam lines into thirds; cut each third lengthwise into thirds for a total of 9 breadsticks.
  • Pick up a dough strip, place it seasoned side down on the work surface, and twist from both ends 8 or 9 times to make a rolled tube of dough with the seasoned side out. Place breadsticks onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the sticks. Roll the sticks lightly to even up their shapes and pick up and press any dropped cheese onto the surfaces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes; flip and continue baking until breadsticks are browned and crisp, 10 to 20 more minutes. If you pick up a stick by one end and it droops, bake for several more minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

CHEESE ON A STICK



Cheese on a Stick image

Pieces of cheese on sticks, deep fried in batter, is a common snack at county fairs. A good tip for coating the cheese is to pour the batter into a tall glass and immerse the skewered cheese in the glass, covering it all at once, before frying.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups pancake mix
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 large egg
Two 8-ounce blocks mozzarella, cut into 1/2-by-3-inch pieces
Marinara sauce, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a wide heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, combine the pancake mix, cornmeal and egg in a large bowl. Add 3 cups of water and stir until a thick batter forms. The batter should be thick but pourable; thin with a little more water if needed. Pour the batter into a glass tall enough to completely immerse the length of the cheese.
  • Skewer each piece of cheese on a bamboo or wooden chopstick.
  • To fry: In batches of three, dip the skewered cheese into the batter, ensuring each piece is covered completely. Slowly lower the cheese into the hot oil. Very quickly, flip the cheese over so all parts of the batter have a chance to set and begin cooking. Cook, flipping frequently, until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve warm with warm marinara sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality mozzarella cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese. This will help the cheese melt more evenly.
  • Season the cheese sticks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before breading them.
  • Use a light hand when breading the cheese sticks. Too much breading will make them greasy and heavy.
  • Fry the cheese sticks in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the cheese sticks with your favorite dipping sauce.
