The egg serves as a binder to create a solid crust, keeping the cheese and cauliflower together. Without it, the breadsticks might crumble.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
Mozzarella cheese adds the gooey meltiness and solidity. The other half is on top for that distinctive cheesy pull, and add the other half to the crust.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
Parmesan cheese adds a strong, nutty flavor in addition to helping the crust crisp up. The breadstick needs to taste real.
