I'm particularly fond of these tasty snacks because they're baked, not fried. Cheese is one of my family's favorite foods. Being of Italian descent, I cook often with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. -Mary Merchant, Barre, Vermont

  • Yield: 4-6 Servings
15 10 25

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 12 sticks string cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 cup marinara or spaghetti sauce, heated

Directions

  • Place flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs and water. In a third shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Coat cheese sticks with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with bread crumb mixture. Repeat egg and bread crumb coatings. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Place on an ungreased baking sheet; drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until heated through. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve with marinara or spaghetti sauce for dipping. Yield: 4-6 servings.

    Editor's Note: Regular mozzarella cheese, cut into 4-in. x 1/2-in. sticks, can be substituted for the string cheese.

I sub low fat string cheese to lower calories. The reason for chilling is so the cheese doesn't melt to a flat mess in the oven. I have put them in the freezer for about 45min to an hour. Turns out fine!

Warning: I didn't read this recipie before hand ( a very very bad idea) & didn't notice that it says refrigerate for 4 hours!! So oven ready people hungry I saw it & said "Opss we arn't having this tonight!!" Lucky for me they weren't the main corse. So I will have them for lunch tomarrow :) Does anyone know why you have to chill them any ways?

I love this recipe. It goes over great where ever I take it. I've made it so many times I barely need to look at the recipe anymore.
