Cheese Stix

Garlic Butter

Method

Cheese Stix

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tsp of Italian seasoning, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Cheese Stix

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use your hands to form the cheese mixture into sticks approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each stick.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over the cheese sticks to help them brown while baking.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cheese Stix

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Cool Before Serving

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garlic Butter

  1. 7

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 stick of butter. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Fresh Parsley

    Stir in 2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley into the garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the baked cheese stix warm with the garlic butter on the side for dipping.
