Ingredients
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
- ½ cup (125 mL) flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) milk
- 1 cup (250 mL) seasoned breadcrumbs
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- Non-stick spray
- Pizza sauce (optional for dipping)
Directions
| 1. | You will need 3 different bowls for coating these mozzarella cheese sticks (large enough for the cheese sticks to lay down flat) and a plate with a piece of parchment paper on it. |
| 2. | In the first bowl, place half of the flour (¼ cup). In the second bowl, stir together the eggs and milk (have an adult help cracking the eggs if you need!). In the third bowl, stir together the rest of the flour (¼ cup), breadcrumbs, and salt. |
| 3. | Unwrap mozzarella cheese sticks. Coat mozzarella cheese sticks in flour, then the egg mixture, then breadcrumbs. |
| 4. | Repeat the egg and the breadcrumbs one more time, pressing the coating on really well with your hands. Place mozzarella cheese sticks on the plate with a piece of parchment paper on it. |
| 5. | Freeze for at least 2 hours. |
| 6. | Turn the oven on to 425˚F (220˚C). |
| 7. | Put a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray. Put the frozen mozzarella sticks on top of the parchment paper and spray the tops well with non-stick spray. |
| 8. | Put the pan in the oven and bake the mozzarella sticks for 8-10 minutes, until they are light golden brown. A little bit of cheese might escape – this is normal! |
| 9. | Take the mozzarella sticks off the pan and put them on a plate. Let cool for 5 minutes before eating (they are delicious dipped in pizza sauce!) |
Tips
- Use one hand for dry mixing and one hand for wet when coating your cheese sticks!
