After I did my post on Tomato Bisque, a number of you contacted me, curious to know about the
cheesy deliciousness that I served alongside the soup.
I call them Cheesy Garlic Pizza Sticks. It's a recipe that I
made up on the fly. I wanted something full of cheesy goodness to nosh on
alongside the soup; melted cheese and tomato soup always go so well together.
My plan was that the soup was going to be a meal, so I knew I needed something
to make it a bit heartier.
I had some pizza dough in the refrigerator (A can of Pillsbury
brand pizza dough that I'd bought with something in mind, then completely forgot
what that something was.), that was about to expire, so I popped it open, spread
it out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and went to work. I softened a bit
of butter and smeared it over the top, then I added some garlic powder, garlic
salt, and Italian seasoning, and then topped everything with layers of cheese, sprinkling a little dry
parsley over the top for color. I used a pizza cutter to cut it into long strips, and then
cut those strips in half. I slid it into the oven while I was warming the
soup, and by the time the soup was ready, so were the little cheese garlic
sticks.
They were so good that I could've made an entire meal out of
them. Sometimes you just have to get creative.
