Cheese Sticks (Baked)

 

Ingredients:

• 12 cheese sticks
• 2 Tablespoons Flour
• 5 Tablespoons breadcrumbs (you can also use Panko bread crumbs)
• 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
• 1 egg, whisked together
• Cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons dried parsely
• salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Cut the 12 cheese sticks in half horizontally. Place in freezer bag and freeze completely.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare baking sheet with foil or silicon mat.
3. Prepare dredging dishes: 1 bowl flour, 1 bowl egg, 1 bowl breadcrumb combined with Parmesan, dried parsley, salt, pepper.
4. To bread the cheese sticks: roll one frozen cheese stick half in flour, egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat covering all cheese sticks.
5. Spray top of cheese sticks with cooking spray (this gives them a more golden appearance when they are done).
6. Place in oven for 4 minutes. Watch closely, so they don't melt completely.
