Directions

Prep 15 minCook 10 min
  1. 1

    Cut each string cheese in half to make sticks, then freeze on a tray until completely solid.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg in a small bowl. Place the flour in a shallow dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the seasoned and plain breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan and dried parsley.

  4. 4

    Working with a few at a time, coat the frozen cheese sticks in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture to cover completely.

  5. 5

    Arrange the coated sticks on a wax-paper-lined tray and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

  7. 7

    Place the frozen breaded sticks on the prepared sheet, mist the tops with cooking spray, and bake on the lower oven rack for 4–5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Turn the sticks and bake 4–5 minutes more, watching closely and removing as soon as the cheese starts to soften to avoid leaking.

  9. 9

    Warm the marinara, if desired, and serve the mozzarella sticks immediately for best texture.
