Sicilian Bread Sticks

Sicilian Bread Sticks

Makes 8

1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuits

For the Filling:
2 tablespoons pitted Greek olives, chopped
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Glaze:

1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  1. Grease 2 baking sheets. Preheat oven to 375F. For filling, in a small bowl, combine olives, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, pepper and Parmesan; set aside.

  2. Separate biscuits. Spoon an equal amount of filling in center of each biscuit; fold over and press to seal.

  3. On a lightly floured surface, with floured hands, roll each biscuit into a 5-inch strip. Hold each strip by the ends and twist. Arrange twists on prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Press down edges to prevent twists from unraveling.

  4. For glaze, in a small bowl, mix butter and egg yolk. Lightly brush tops of bread sticks with egg mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
