Baked Mozzarella Sticks



Ingredients:

1 (12 ounce) package reduced-fat string cheese
1 egg
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce, warmed

Directions:

Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Remove cheese from package and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk egg until foamy.

Mix Italian seasoning and breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.

Dip one piece of string cheese in egg until coated and then into bread crumbs, coating completely.

Re-dip cheese in egg and breadcrumbs, if desired, for extra crispy sticks.

Repeat with remaining string cheese and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until heated through.

Serve with warmed marinara sauce.
