Quick and easy salty snack only from 5 ingredients. Super easy to prepare and your guests will love it. Trust me ;)

When my guests see the salty sticks, their reaction is UUUUUUU and start to eat, they don’t care if it’s still hot 🙂 Freshly baked sticks are the best, just melting in your mouth 😛 omnomnom…

Tips and tricks before starting:

All of the dairy ingredients should be at room temperature, so make sure to take them out from the fridge 1-2 hours before starting. This way the diaries combine better, become smoother and will help to get the perfect texture and taste.

I use a Bosch kitchen machine for beating everything because I have to work less this way. The mixing is also working well manually 🙂 I know because I didn’t always have the kitchen machine.

Every oven works differently so 1st time check the sticks before the required baking time. I baked it on 175 oC (350 oF), but maybe your oven is stronger, so be careful not to overbake the sticks.

I recommend the freshly baked sticks because freshly made snacks are best. It also tasty the next day, but most of the time, there’s no next day for sticks 🙂

You can make it 1 day before and store in the fridge for a night, covered with plastic wrap. In this case, take it out from the fridge half an hour before rolling.

This portion is enough to fill 3 baking trays with the sticks. If you’re hosting more people, make double portion with 2 balls.

Preparation time: 15 + 30 min

Baking time: 3 x 15 min (depends on the size of your baking tray)

Ingredients for the cheesy salty sticks

• 250 g (2 cups) flour + some for the rolling
• 250 g (~1 cup) butter, room temperature
• 250 g (1 1/4 cups) cottage cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 150 g (or more) (1 1/2 cups) Gouda cheese

How to make the cheesy salty sticks?

Preheat the oven to 175 ^oC (350 ^oF).

Mix flour, room temperature butter and salt until the mixture is completely smooth, then add the cottage cheese and stir till it’s well combined.

Make a big ball from it and put into the fridge for half an hour, easier to roll the harder mixture.

Or you can prepare it 1 day before and store in the fridge for a night, as you could read the tips and tricks.

Put the ball onto a lightly floured surface and roll until 3-5 mm thickness and cut into slices. Beat the egg and glaze the top with it. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

Place the sticks on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Put into the oven. They need 15-20 minutes, when the cheese on top is golden brown, it’s gooooood 🙂

Serve immediately and enjoy it!

Be careful, it can cause addiction 😉
