Cheesy Breadsticks

Pin It

I grew up in the town where the first frozen pizza was invented, Tombstone Pizza! It started in a bar across from a graveyard. So I grew up on a lot of pizza. My favorite were the pizza sticks that you would dip in sauce. Here is my "healthified" version without trans-fat.

3 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3 ounces Cream cheese or sour cream
1/2 cup mozzarella or fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
Spices (if desired)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate the eggs and add sour cream to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a lasagna pan with Olive oil spray and spoon the mixture into it. Bake at 375 degrees for 14 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mozzarella or Parmesan cheese and spices. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. *Adapted from Oopsie Rolls on Lighter Side of Low Carb blog. Makes 9 servings.
