Ingredients

  • 12 sticks part-skim mozzarella string cheese
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 teaspoons all purpose seasoning such as Mrs. Dash
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Remove string cheese from wrappers and cut half, making 24 pieces. Place cheese in a ziplock bag and freeze cheese until frozen ( at least 1 hour)
  • In one bowl place flour, in second bowl place your beaten  egg, and in third  bowl place bread crumbs, panko and all purpose seasoning.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Start your mozzarella stick assembly line.  One at a time, first dip frozen cheese stick in flour, then into egg, followed by bread crumbs.  Place on baking sheet and repeat until all cheese sticks are done.
  • NOTE: If you are making these ahead of time for a party, you can place baking sheet in freezer until ready to bake.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake for about 5 minutes, then turn sticks over and continue to bake an additional 5-6  minutes or until golden brown and cheese just starts to seep out. (Drool....)
  • Serve hot with marinara sauce or Ranch dressing for dipping.
