About

The simple combination of cheese and bread has resulted in so many awe-inspiring dishes: grilled cheese, pizza, or cheese bread. But Easy Cheesy Stuffed Breadsticks aren't just one more entry to the list: they're a fantastic side dish, snack, or appetizer for Italian dinners or fried chicken. The fluffy, golden-brown bread surrounds a core of melty, creamy mozzarella and is topped with herb butter and more cheese just for good measure. Easy Cheesy Stuffed Breadsticks can be dipped in garlic butter, marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or just eaten on their own; when you have breadsticks this rich, you can't help but have a bite (or twelve)!
