Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 mozzarella sticks
1 egg
2 Tbsp flour
5 Tbsp bread crumbs
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
a dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray

Steps:

1. Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then put the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
2. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
3. To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
4. Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
5. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don't melt completely!
