These oven-baked mozzarella sticks are a light version of a popular appetizer. Serve with marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 8 toothpicks
- 4 reduced-fat mozzarella string cheese sticks, halved
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a toaster oven on the broil setting; alternatively, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a small baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
Step 2
Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate small bowl.
Step 3
Insert a toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to the mid-way point. Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet and coat with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.
Step 4
Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.
