Description
Cheese sticks are delicious finger foods that consist of cheese encased in a savory dough, creating a satisfying blend of textures and flavors. They are easy to make and perfect for serving as appetizers, party snacks, or alongside soups and salads.
Ingredients:
Cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack), cut into sticks or small cubes
All-purpose flour
Butter, cold and cubed
Cold water
Salt
Optional: garlic powder, herbs (such as parsley or oregano), paprika, chili flakes, or grated Parmesan cheese for seasoning
To prepare cheese sticks, cold butter is cut into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cold water is then added gradually until a smooth dough forms. The dough is rolled out into a rectangle, and the cheese sticks are placed evenly along one edge of the dough. The dough is then folded over the cheese and sealed, creating a log shape.
The log is sliced into individual cheese sticks, which are placed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They are then brushed with melted butter and seasoned with salt and any desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese.
The cheese sticks are baked in a preheated oven until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the cheese is melted and gooey on the inside.
Once baked, cheese sticks can be served hot, allowing the cheese to ooze out when bitten into, or at room temperature as a delicious and addictive snack. They are often accompanied by marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or other dipping sauces for added flavor.
