Herb and Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks are the perfect blend of soft, pillowy bread with a cheesy, herby filling. These breadsticks are baked until golden brown, then stuffed with gooey melted cheese and seasoned with fragrant herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano. The result is a mouthwatering snack or side dish that’s ideal for any occasion—from family dinners to game day gatherings. Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite dip for an extra tasty treat!

Customizable to Fit Your Taste

One of the things I love about these breadsticks is how customizable they are. You can experiment with different cheeses—add cheddar, gouda, or even some cream cheese for extra creaminess. Feel free to mix up the herbs based on what you have on hand—basil, parsley, or even Italian seasoning would work beautifully! The options are endless, and you can make them your own.
