I am a sucker for mozzarella cheese sticks. Absolutely love them. And before Weight Watchers, I would order them whenever I saw them on a menu. Now that fast food restaurants have them on the menus too, that is dangerous. Now I can have some as a treat and not cheat! The picture is not pretty, but don’t let that fool you. These were delicious.
Oven-Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Ingredients:
Olive oil spray
Mozzarella sticks
Italian bread crumbs
Panko bread crumbs
Egg whites, beaten
Instructions:
Dip cheese into egg whites and coat generously. Then dip sticks into bread crumbs, back into egg whites and then coat in bread crumbs again. Spray 3 times with olive oil spray. Cook at 400 degrees for 5 – 7 mins.
Note: I experimented with mine and tried them with Italian bread crumbs, with Panko bread crumbs, and finally with Italian and Panko bread crumbs combined. I don’t have a preference as they were all good although the Panko held the cheese in the best. But then I like mine oozing out too.
