Anytime Breadsticks

from Better Homes & Gardens

refrigerated breadsticks (the kind that come in a can)

1. Preheat oven according to package directions.  Separate dough into strips.  Fill each one up as you please (see suggestions below). 
2. Twist the breadstick dough around the fillings.  Don't worry if the breadsticks aren't perfect or some of the filling falls out.
3. Place breadsticks on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Brush with olive oil or melted butter.  Sprinkle with slat or fresh or dried herbs.  Bake as package directs.

Filling suggestions:

Parmesan-Prosciutto:  Spread dough with dijon-style mustard.  Layer with thinly sliced, snipped prosciutto and grated Parmesan cheese or Swiss cheese.

Pile-on-Pesto:  Slather dough with a generous amount of prepared pesto sauce.  Add a few pine nuts, if you like.

Herbal Blend:  Brush dough with olive oil.  Heap on a handful of coarsely chopped thyme and parsley.  Drizzled with additional olive oil.  Sprinkle with coarse salt.

Cheese-Stuffed:  Brush dough with your favorite Italian salad dressing.  Add fresh Parmesan cheese or spread with Boursin cheese.  Spoon additional dressing on top.

Olive-Rosemary:  Press pitted, chopped kalamata olives into dough.  Twist to enclose olives. (Expect some olives to spill out.)  Scatter top with snipped fresh rosemary.

Dunford Kids Favorite:  Split a string cheese into three pieces (lengthwise).  Twist breadstick dough around one piece.  Repeat.
