Healthy Baked Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 (1 ounce) sticks string cheese, halved and frozen
  • olive oil, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 200 degrees Celsius.
2
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until it becomes smooth and creamy. In another small bowl, sift the flour to separate it from other ingredients.
3
Take a third bowl and combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese. Mix them together until they form a uniform blend.
4
Using your hands, gently press each cheese stick into the flour to coat it evenly. Shake off any excess flour that may have accumulated.
5
Dip each cheese stick into the egg, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Then, press it firmly into the bread crumb mixture.
6
Place each breaded cheese stick onto a baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Continue coating the rest of the cheese sticks in this manner.
7
Before baking, lightly brush each cheese stick with olive oil. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent drying.
8
Bake the cheese sticks in the preheated oven for approximately 4 minutes, or until they become crispy and golden brown.
