Grissinis are a popular Italian appetizer with a history that dates back to the 19th century. Originally from the city of Turin, these baked breadsticks have become famous and are now a popular snack all over the world. Provolone Grissinis are a variation of the classic grissini recipe, with added provolone cheese and salami that make them even more delicious. These tasty appetizers are perfect to serve as finger food at any party or gathering, or to enjoy as a quick snack at home.

2.	In a bowl, mix together the provolone cheese and chopped salami. Add the cream and mix until well combined.
3.	Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry, brush lightly with melted butter, and then lay another sheet on top. Repeat with remaining phyllo pastry until you have six layers.
4.	Spread the provolone and salami filling over the top of the layered phyllo pastry.
5.	Roll up tightly and cut into small pieces (around 10 cm long).
6.	Place the grissinis on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with melted butter.
7.	Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Provolone is a good source of calcium, protein and vitamin D. It is a low fat and low carbohydrate food but contains a good amount of sodium which should be taken in moderation. Additionally, salami is a good source of protein, B vitamins, and zinc. However, it is high in sodium and fat content, so it should also be consumed in moderation.
