Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
- 4 sticks Mozzarella string cheese Halved
- 1/2 cup Marinara sauce
Instructions
- Prepare for Freezing: Line a small baking sheet with foil and lightly mist it with cooking spray. Pour milk into one shallow bowl and bread crumbs into another. Dip each cheese piece in milk, ensuring it's thoroughly moistened, then dredge in bread crumbs to completely cover. Place on the prepared baking sheet and mist with cooking spray. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake frozen mozzarella sticks until the bread crumbs are browned and the cheese begins to ooze, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them stand for 3 minutes to set slightly.
- Heat Marinara Sauce: While the cheese sticks are baking, heat marinara sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl until warm, about 20 to 30 seconds.
- Serve: Serve baked mozzarella sticks warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
These cheesy sticks are best served fresh and warm. You can set them out with a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.
