Baked Mozzarella Sticks
Makes 6 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 5-6 minutes

Created by 3-Every-Day™ of Dairy

Ingredients:

  • 1 (12-ounce) package reducedfat
  • Mozzarella string cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 tablespoons panko
    (Japanese)bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup prepared marinara
    sause, warmed (optional)

Directions:
Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking
spray.

Remove cheese from packaging and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk egg
until foamy. In small non-stick skillet, mix Italian seasoning with bread
crumbs and place over medium heat. Cook and stir bread crumbs until
lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Dip one piece of string cheese in egg until coated and then into toasted bread
crumbs, coating completely. Redip the string cheese in egg and again into
the bread crumbs, if desired. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining
string cheese and place on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Spray string
cheese lightly with cooking spray.

Bake 5-6 minutes or until heated through. (Cheese may melt slightly and
loose shape. Simply press it back into place.)

Suggested serving: Pair with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
