Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 sticks mozzarella string cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs plain or flavored

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Remove the mozzarella string cheese from the wrappers and lay them on a baking pan.
  2. Freeze the cheese sticks for about 30 minutes to make them firm.
Breading
  1. Crack one egg into a bowl and whisk it well. In another bowl, place your breadcrumbs.
  2. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or cover it with foil and then spray.
  3. Dip each frozen cheese stick first in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. For a better coating, re-dip in the egg and then re-roll in breadcrumbs.
  4. Repeat for all cheese sticks, placing them on the baking sheet.
  5. Freeze the breaded sticks for another 20 minutes before baking.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Bake the sticks for about 5 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes, watching closely for bubbling cheese.
  3. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
