One of my favorite things to order when we eat out is mozzarella sticks. There is just something so good about the melty cheese and marinara sauce!
I thought it would be fun to create a homemade mozzarella sticks recipe that wasn’t fried and super easy to make. These are perfect for an afternoon snack, appetizer or just because you want a super yummy treat!
Homemade Mozzarella Sticks Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese – I used mozzarella
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp of flour
- 5 tbsp of bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
- A tad of olive oil, or cooking spray
Directions:
- Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
- To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
- Once all of the cheese sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this helps keep them from sticking)
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. Watch them closely so they don’t melt completely!
These are so much healthier because they have no butter in them and are baked. Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!
