It’s Secret Recipe Club Day…again! Only this time it’s with my own group instead
of a rescue!
This month I was assigned Flavors by Four. Flavors by Four is a blog run by Nicole and
Susan, and mother-daughter team! They
both love cooking and baking and sharing recipes!
There were so many delicious choices on the blog! I reaaaaally wanted to make their Kit Kat Cake, but I didn’t have anywhere to take a cake (I usually like to share cake
so I don’t eat it all myself!) A close
second was the recipe for Pesto Pasta Salad.
And I’ll be honest. That one is
totally going to happen. My boys
absolutely love pesto!
In the end, I ended up making Parmesan Asparagus
Breadsticks. I absolutely love asparagus
and I eat it constantly when it’s in season!
I loved these!! I started eating
them fresh out of the oven and they were gone lickety split! Hubs and I couldn’t get enough, and even Dude
had a few!
Thank you, Susan & Nicole, for a great new way to enjoy
my asparagus!
Recipe Note:
For an even
faster dish, you can use a tube of refrigerated pizza dough instead of
homemade.
Parmesan
Asparagus Breadsticks
Adapted from Flavors by Four, originally from Taste of Home
Homemade pizza dough (I used ¼ of this recipe)
1 lb thick asparagus, woody ends snapped off
2 oz cream cheese, softened
Dash of garlic powder
2-3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet
with parchment or a silicone mat.
Roll the dough thin.
Spread the cream cheese over the surface of the dough and sprinkle with
garlic powder. Use a pizza cutter to cut
the dough into ½-inch strips.
Starting at the bottom, carefully spiral one dough strip
around an asparagus stalk gently stretching so the dough reaches the end. Repeat for all of the dough strips/asparagus.
Brush the tops of the breadsticks with egg wash. Sprinkle the breadsticks with parmesan and a
few cracks of black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the
breadstick is deeply browned and the asparagus is crisp-tender. Serve immediately.
