Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are a delightfully savory treat that’s soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, topped with a blend of melted cheese and aromatic garlic. They’re not heavy or overly greasy either. I think they’re a perfect snack or side for any meal, and if you’re not a fan of garlic, feel free to omit it.

They will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a comforting and flavorful snack that’s not overly complicated, you’ve come to the right place. When you make fluffy breadsticks and pair them with a cheesy, garlicky topping you get the perfect treat. The addition of fresh herbs just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for cozy, comforting foods and these dreamy breadsticks remind me of family gatherings and warm, home-cooked meals. Not a fan of garlic? Don’t worry, they’re still delicious without it.
