Morning, morning fam.

I hope everyone is doing okay this fine midweek and that we are all still standing.

Anyway, I have arrived, which means the meeting can officially start. Yes, the daily food meeting is now in session, so let’s not waste any time and jump straight into today’s delicious agenda.

On the spotlight today: Crispy Cheese & Russian Roll Sticks.

So earlier this morning, I had a serious thought: “What can I make for my online family that looks a little fancy but doesn’t require a chef’s degree?” Next thing—boom!—this recipe came to mind like it’s been waiting for its moment. Of course, I had to check the fridge first to make sure I have all the ingredients I will need. Thankfully, everything I needed was right there. And honestly, I have full faith your fridge is just as prepared—you just need to do a checklist of these ingredients.

Alright, enough talking—let me show you how to make our star of the day:

How to make Crispy Cheese & Russian Roll Sticks

Ingredients:

  • 2 hot dog rolls or mini baguettes
  • 2 russian sausages
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mixed herbs

Dip:

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce

Method:

  1. Prep the rolls: Cut the rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
  2. Fill them: Slice the russian sausages thinly.
    Stuff the rolls with:
    *Sliced russian
    *Grated cheese
  3. Butter mix: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and herbs. Brush over the rolls.
  4. Bake: Bake at 180°C for about 10–15 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
  5. Cut into sticks: Slice each roll into smaller stick pieces.
  6. Make the dip: Mix mayonnaise, tomato sauce, and sweet chilli sauce

Extra tip:
*Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top before baking so it gets crispy around the edges.
