Skinny Mozzarella Sticks
An appetizer favorite that’s baked, not fried! Crunchy on the outside with gooey cheesy goodness on the inside!
- Yield: 32 1x
Ingredients
- 1 package string cheese ( I buy mine unwrapped with 16 sticks in the pack)
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup Progresso Garlic & Herb bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Spaghetti, pizza or marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Cut cheese sticks in half – you’ll have 32 sticks.
- Whisk the eggs and the milk in a bowl until combined.
- Combine panko and bread crumbs in another bowl.
- Dip each cheese stick in the egg mixture, then the crumb mixture and place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Place in freezer for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with non-stick cooking spray.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Turn and bake for another 4-5 minutes taking care to ensure the sticks don’t melt.
- Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes and serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
- When you start to see the cheese bubble out of the mozzarella sticks, pull them out of the oven immediately.
