Cheddar Cheese Sticks
I feel a buzz of pleasure introducing you to a favorite recipe, Cheddar Cheese Sticks. The savory Cheese Sticks remind me of Southern cooking – lots of rich flavor and also a crunchy bite. And for me, the making is fun! The cheese sticks always look delectable and taste like they look.
They add considerable interest to a simple cheese board. I keep a box on hand throughout the Holidays.

Spicy Cheese Sticks

Servings 6
What You'll Need:
- 1 ½ cups grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (about 6 oz.)
- 4 Tb unsalted butter, soften to room temperature and cut into 4 pieces
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 Tb half and half, milk, or heavy cream
How To Prepare:
- 1. preheat oven to 350 Degrees F
- 2. In a food processor, combine the cheese, butter, flour, salt and red pepper flakes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the half and half and process until the dough forms a ball, about 10 seconds. (if the ball doesn't form, add a tsp. more cream.
- 3. On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough intoanb 8-byu-10 inch rectangle that is 1/8 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into thin 8-inch stripsmeach 1/4-1/3 inch wide. (to limit dough sticking to the knive, flour the knife after each cutting)Transfer the strips to a parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving at least 1/4 inch between them.
- 4. Bake the straws on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes, or until the ends are barely browned. Remove from the oven and set the cookie sheet on a rack to cool.
- 5. Serve at room temperature. Cheese straws will keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container, for two days, but they taste best when freshly baked and served shortly thereafter.
