So I feel a little less guilty that I ate practically the entire thing by myself. Completely not exaggerating. I conserved 3 pieces for Mr. K and the rest went straight into my stomach.
The dough for these breadsticks is actually a cheese pizza crust. Cheese, eggs and a little seasoning are mixed together and baked to form a thin pizza-like crust.
How to Make the Cheese Crust
Step 1: Integrate the cheese, eggs, and seasonings in a food processor till smooth.
Step 2: Process the cheese mix up until smooth.
Action 3: Press the cheese mix into an even layer in a square baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Bake the cheese crust at 350 F for 20 minutes.
As soon as the crust is baked it doesn’t simply taste like a bunch of melted cheese. It looks like a crust and it has a soft and chewy texture.
The crust is then topped with more cheese and baked up until melted, for a tacky finish.
You can eat them as is or dip them in marinara sauce. I definitely loved how these ended up. Crispy, tacky, chewy. I can’t wait to make them again.

You can include other cheese blends for more variation but I recommend that the crust be mainly mozzarella cheese as some cheeses, like cheddar, will trigger the crust to be too salty.
