Cheese & Onion Breadsticks

Line with parchment or lightly grease sheet pan(s); set aside. Place frozen breadstick dough layer on a clean work surface. Thaw just until pliable (do not fully thaw for easier handling).

Using a sharp knife, cut each stick in half crosswise to make 48 sticks, each about 5 inches long.

Arrange sticks on prepared sheet pans, spacing 1–2 inches apart. Brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil. Let rise until puffy (about 30 minutes). Gently pull and twist each stick and press lightly to flatten.

In a bowl, combine both cheeses, green onions, and melted butter/oil; mix well.

Carefully, top each stick evenly with cheese/onion mixture.

Let rise again in a warm area until doubled in size.

Bake in a preheated 325-degree convection oven for 7–9 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, cool slightly on wire racks. Serve warm.

Yield: 48 Breadsticks

*You can swap Swiss for mozzarella, cheddar or Jack cheese.

For added flavor, brush with garlic butter right after baking.
