EGGS:
- The egg serves as a binder to create a solid crust, keeping the cheese and cauliflower together. Without it, the breadsticks might crumble.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese adds the gooey meltiness and solidity. The other half is on top for that distinctive cheesy pull, and add the other half to the crust.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan cheese adds a strong, nutty flavor in addition to helping the crust crisp up. The breadstick needs to taste real.
SEASONING:
- The breadsticks are delicious because of the use of Italian seasoning & garlic powder. They taste like typical garlic bread thanks to these basic seasonings.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil will enhance the golden-brown finish, and it also prevents the breadsticks from drying up.
