The intense aroma of rosemary blends well with the parmesan and mozzarella.
They are easy to assemble, bake to a golden brown, and are deliciously crunchy and rich in flavor. I love to serve alongside our favorite champagne cocktail.

Here are a few tips about the ingredients needed to make your homemade breadsticks
You can find the printable recipe with all the correct ingredient amounts at the bottom of this post. This is just a quick introduction. Please read the full recipe instructions.
Pepperidge Fram Puff Pastry – is my brand of choice, but any frozen or fresh puff pastry will work beautifully.
Fresh rosemary – the natural oil of the fresh rosemary gives it a great flavor.
Parmesan cheese – grated more coarsely, will melt a little, giving the cheese-stuffed breadsticks a great flavor.
Grated mozzarella – is milder and balances the asiago and parmesan cheese when combined.
Asiago cheese – another layer of flavor and richness.
Egg white – to brush over and give it that glistening shine to your breadsticks.

Baking tips and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your cheese-filled breadsticks
Have all the ingredients at room temperature before starting.
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Roll each piece of the puff pastry on a floured board until it reaches half an inch thick.
- Fold the puff pastry to determine the half point. Press slightly to intent the middle.
- Open flat and cut alongside the half-edge.
- Mix all the cheeses and the chopped rosemary in a mixing bowl.
- Spread half of the content on the half-puff pastry sheet and gently press down to stay in place. Leave
- Cover the cheese-rosemary mixture with the second half of your pastry, and gently roll over a couple of times with a rolling pin.
- With a baking brush, brush some of the egg white all over the top dough sheet facing you.
- Cut lengthwise into strips 3/4 an inch wide.
- Separate the strips, twist them, and arrange them on the cookie sheet’s parchment paper. Pinch each end.
Do not worry if some of the dry ingredients escape.
- Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
Storage and reheating
Once completely cooled off, they can be easily stored in an airtight glass container and the refrigerator for two days.
Warm up your oven to 300F, place the remaining breadsticks on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and reheat for 5 minutes. Make sure they do not burn.
Substitutions and Variations
- Select a nicely aged cheese such as sharp cheddar instead of asiago.
- Dry rosemary will be the perfect substitute if you do not have fresh on hand.
- Italian seasoning can also be used instead of the rosemary.
- Add a few grinds of pepper to the cheese mixture for a kick.
- Chopped anchovies to add a bit of saltiness and perfect with my Lychee Martini.
