The intense aroma of rosemary blends well with the parmesan and mozzarella.

They are easy to assemble, bake to a golden brown, and are deliciously crunchy and rich in flavor. I love to serve alongside our favorite champagne co*cktail.

Pepperidge Fram Puff Pastry – is my brand of choice, but any frozen or fresh puff pastry will work beautifully.

Fresh rosemary – the natural oil of the fresh rosemary gives it a great flavor.

Parmesan cheese – grated more coarsely, will melt a little, giving the cheese-stuffed breadsticks a great flavor.

Grated mozzarella – is milder and balances the asiago and parmesan cheese when combined.

Asiago cheese – another layer of flavor and richness.

Egg white – to brush over and give it that glistening shine to your breadsticks.

Have all the ingredients at room temperature before starting.

Storage and reheating

Once completely cooled off, they can be easily stored in an airtight glass container and the refrigerator for two days.

Warm up your oven to 300F, place the remaining breadsticks on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and reheat for 5 minutes. Make sure they do not burn.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Select a nicely aged cheese such as sharp cheddar instead of asiago.
  • Dry rosemary will be the perfect substitute if you do not have fresh on hand.
  • Italian seasoning can also be used instead of the rosemary.
  • Add a few grinds of pepper to the cheese mixture for a kick.
  • Chopped anchovies to add a bit of saltiness and perfect with my Lychee Martini.
