Put this recipe on paper.
The intoxicating scent of freshly made bread, my friends, is the one surefire way to get everyone in the family smiling and ready to eat. What about when the bread is topped with melted cheese and garlic? Here’s a side dish that may be the show-stopper. The simple combination of bread and cheese gave rise to the timeless classic of Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks. It goes well with everything, or you may eat it on its own to fulfill your savory desires. It’s homey, decadent, and perfect for gathering around the table with everyone from those with the smallest appetites to those with the largest.
These cheesy garlic breadsticks can be paired with a wide variety of dishes. The breadsticks are the ideal complement to any dish, whether it’s a bowl of soup, a Caesar salad, pasta with marinara sauce, or something else entirely. On spaghetti night or as an informal starter with a variety of dips, they are a favorite of mine.
