Ingredients:
FOR THE BREADSTICKS
1½ cups full-fat milk powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
3 large eggs
⅓ cup cottage cheese, blended smooth
FOR THE TOPPING
80 g shredded mozzarella
40 g shredded cheddar
25 g grated Parmesan
Optional: Melted butter and garlic powder, for brushing
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the milk powder, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and blended cottage cheese.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two batches. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. If it seems too loose, let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
4. Use a wet spoon to shape the dough into 5 thick breadsticks on the baking sheet. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until golden and set.
5. If using, brush the hot breadsticks lightly with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Add the three cheeses.
6. Broil on HIGH for 1–2½ minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
