These cheesy bread sticks are a delicious appetizer or side dish to serve alongside a yummy salad or big bowl of soup. However, most often I serve them as an addition to our Friday night pizza night! They are the first to be cleaned up, as these cheesy bread sticks are one of my families favorite recipes. Warm, cheesy with just a touch of garlic. What’s not to love?
