Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Asiago cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 can (approximately 12 ounces) Pillsbury breadstick dough
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). As the oven warms up, it’s the perfect time to prepare everything else for this tasty treat.
-
Prepare your baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. This step ensures that your breadsticks will come off the pan easily after baking.
-
Beat the egg in a small bowl until well mixed. Add the water and Dijon mustard to the egg, stirring until everything is thoroughly combined. This egg mixture will help the seasoning stick to the breadsticks.
-
Create the coating by combining the grated Asiago cheese, sesame seeds, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Mix these ingredients well so that every bite will be bursting with flavor.
-
Unroll the breadstick dough and separate it into the 12 pre-cut breadsticks. Each one will be dipped and coated to achieve that irresistible flavor.
-
Dip each breadstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Next, roll the egg-coated breadstick in the cheese mixture, pressing lightly so the coating sticks well.
-
Twist each breadstick a few times to give it a bit of flair and extra crunch. Place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for even baking.
-
Press down the ends of each breadstick firmly to help them maintain their shape during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 19 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crispy. The aroma of garlic and cheese will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait for the delicious results.
-
Serve warm and enjoy these delightful breadsticks fresh out of the oven. Perfect as an appetizer, a snack, or even a fun addition to any meal!
