- 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1/4 c flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c panko breadcrumbs
- 2 T grated parmesan cheese
- 1 t dried parsley
- 1/4 t dried basil
- 1/8 t dried oregano
- 1 t garlic powder
Baked Mozzarella Sticks Directions
- Set the mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Place the flour in a small bowl. Place the egg in a second bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic powder.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Dip each mozzarella stick in flour and shake off excess. Dip in the egg, followed by the herb-breadcrumb mixture. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet as you go. Transfer the baking sheet into the freezer, and freeze for at least 15 minutes. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping the mozzarella sticks over mid-way through the cooking time. Serve hot with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
