Fast Cooking Recipe For Mustard Breadsticks

You and your family will become absolutely addicted to these delicious breadsticks. They’re simple to prepare and you can have them on the table in less than an hour. Although I always use Gruyere cheese because I love its wonderfully delicate and smoky flavor, you can substitute with freshly grated Parmesan if that’s more to your taste.

MUSTARD CHEESE BREADSTICKS


Your Ingredients:

1 (11-ounce) container of Pillsbury breadstick dough
2-tbsp butter
1/2-cup coarse-grained mustard
1/4-cup Gruyere cheese, grated
1-tbsp fresh dill (I always tear off a bit from the bunch and put it in a bag to be weighed at the checkout)
sea salt, finely ground

PREHEAT oven to 350˚F.

IN a small pot, heat the coarse-grained mustard and butter together until well blended. Set aside.

USING a small food processor, pulse the Gruyere cheese and the dill together until it resembles cornmeal. Place in a bowl and set aside.

LINE two baking sheets with Silpats (or parchment paper).

SEPARATE the dough strips where perforated and slice each strip lengthwise to form thinner strips.

DIP each strip, one at a time, into the mustard and butter mixture, then immediately roll in the Gruyere and dill mixture to coat entire strip.

TWIST each strip gently and place on prepared baking sheets.

SPRINKLE the breadsticks with the sea salt if you wish, although it’s not necessary.

PLACE in the preheated oven and bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on breadsticks so they don’t burn, as I’ve been guilty of this on more than one occasion. Okay, maybe more than 5 occasions and I’ll leave it at that.

SERVE in a napkin-lined oval serving bowl or dish.
