Garlic Fingers are a savory dish commonly found in East Coast Canadian cuisine, particularly popular in the Maritime provinces. Made with pizza dough as a base, they're brushed with garlic butter, topped with a generous layer of mozzarella or cheddar cheese, and often sprinkled with parsley or other herbs. Once baked, they're sliced into strips, often served alongside a sweet donair sauce for dipping. While Garlic Fingers are a flavorful indulgence, they are relatively high in calories and fats due to the cheese and butter content. However, they can provide some protein from the cheese and carbohydrates from the dough, offering a quick source of energy. For a healthier twist, they can be prepared with whole wheat dough, reduced-fat cheese, or a lighter butter alternative to retain the classic taste while lowering calorie content. Garlic Fingers are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
