Made this using pepperoni and mozzarella string cheese. I rolled each breadstick into an individual pinwheel and sprinkled the tops with garlic and herbs. Then I served them with tomato sauce for dipping. The grandkids loved it.

Quick, easy and the kids love it. I've made this a couple of times and each time, there have been no leftovers. Topped with Italian seasoning and fresh minced garlic. Awesome!

Just made this and it turned out perfectly! So delicious. I added 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt to the egg mixture like someone else suggested and used parsley flakes on top. I could see this being great with pepperoni, too.

I bought thick cut bacon and made it myself, except for I cut all the bacon up and did not leave any in strips, plus I added a little bit of fontana cheese on top. Thanks for the tips on adding seasoning, I add salt to everything anyway but I added a garlic/herb mix and I used some fresh rosemary. And I agree with the use of either parchment paper or sil-pat. It came out beautiful & was gone very quickly.

I used slightly cooked, thick sliced bacon, sundried tomatoes (suggested by the previous user), spinach, and mozzarella string cheese for the filling, and instead of rolling it into a large wheel, I rolled (2) strips together, making (6) smaller wheels (similar to cinnamon rolls) and used an egg white mixture with onion and cajun seasoning. It was really good. I want to try cheddar cheese and ham instead of bacon and mozzarella next time, and maybe try a sweet version with bacon and a brown sugar/maple syrup mixture. Yummy!

Couldn't be happy w/o my parchment paper. I too do the line up trick when baking cookies and have one ready to slip on the sheet when I slide a batch off to cool. Sure make the baking time faster - especially in summer when you don't need the heat! Gotta try this recipe. I'm new to the site and am drooling with everything I see!

How about adding sun dried tomatoes?

Have we forgotten about parchment paper? Things just don't stick to it. It can be wiped off and reused when making cookies. It is so handy to just slide the paper off onto a cooling rack. Let the sheet cool and slide another sheet with the dough already set out. Works slick.

Buy regular (uncooked) bacon and cook it yourself if you have the time; pre-cooked bacon is ridiculously overpriced. Use non stick spray (even though the recipe says ungreased cookie sheet) as the egg wash runs through to the baking sheet causing the bread to stick and create difficulty in cutting/removing.
