Description
Deliciously crispy breadsticks made from day-old sourdough, topped with gooey cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 day-old sourdough loaf or sourdough baguette
- 4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheese (cheddar or Pecorino)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the day-old sourdough loaf lengthwise into 1-inch wide sticks, keeping the crust intact.
- Melt butter with minced garlic in a small saucepan, then stir in chopped herbs along with salt and pepper.
- Brush each breadstick with the garlic-herb butter generously.
- Layer mozzarella and a sharper cheese evenly on each stick and press lightly.
- Bake for 10–14 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden-brown. Optionally, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crispness.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for 2–3 minutes, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and chopped parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and vegan cheese. For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free bread.
