Healthier Mozzarella Sticks!
What you need
12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese, go for the low sodium kind if you want to be extra healthy
1 egg
2 tbsp of flour
5 tbsp of bread crumbs
2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
A dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray
Preparation
Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flower, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don’t melt completely!
