Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
- 8 pretzel sticks
- Fresh chives, enough to wrap around each cheese broomstick
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese: Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half. Make small, shallow slices halfway down each cheese piece without cutting fully through, leaving space at the top intact to hold the pretzel stick.
- Create the Broom Bristles: Gently pull apart the slices on each half to create the broom’s bristled effect.
- Make a Hole for the Handle: Using a large toothpick or similar tool, carefully create a hole at the top of each cheese piece to accommodate the pretzel stick.
- Assemble the Broomstick: Press a pretzel stick firmly into the hole at the top of the cheese.
- Wrap with Chives: Wrap a fresh chive around the cheese “bristles” just below where the pretzel stick is inserted, securing it with a small knot to resemble the broom’s binding.
- Serve: Arrange the completed broomsticks on a platter and serve immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella sticks for the best texture and flavor.
- If chives are not available, thin strips of green onion or edible green ribbon can substitute.
- Make sure not to slice too deep into the cheese to keep the broomsticks intact.
- This recipe is best served fresh as mozzarella can dry out if left out too long.
