Ingredients**

For the Breadsticks:

• 3 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs (for egg wash)
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

For Topping:

• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp black sesame seeds or poppy seeds
• 1 tbsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional for flavor)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions**

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth them out.
3. Beat eggs with milk to make an egg wash. Brush half of each sheet with it.

2. Add Cheese Filling

1. Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan evenly over the brushed half of each sheet.
2. Fold the sheet over to cover the cheese layer. Press gently to seal.
3. Use a rolling pin to flatten slightly and help the layers stick together.

3. Cut and Twist

1. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each sheet into long strips (about 1-inch wide).
2. Twist each strip a few times to form spirals.
3. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each.

4. Add the Topping

1. Brush each twist with the remaining egg wash or melted butter.
2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, black seeds, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Optionally, add a touch more cheese on top for extra crispiness.

5. Bake

1. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
2. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
