Crispy baked mozzarella bites and marinara


Mozzarella sticks are usually deep friend at many restaurants. I love to indulge in these gooey bites, so I came up with a nice alternative that still tastes great! They're kid friendly, budget friendly, and very easy to make.
        • 10          string cheese mozzarella sticks; halved
        • 1            large egg; scramble for egg wash
        • 1/2 c.     flour
        • 1 c.        panko (japanese bread crumbs)
        • 1 t.         Italian seasoning; you can also season to your taste

What you need: Panko (Japanese bread crumbs), string cheese, eggs,
Italian seasoning, flour.
Dredge cheese in flour, then the egg wash, followed by seasoned panko crumbs.
Breaded and ready to bake for 10 mins or less at 350 degrees!
Don't forget to freeze these first for at least an hour or they will melt into a
gooey delicious mess.
Puree canned tomatoes for mozzarella dipping sauce. Fewer calories than
other canned sauces. Serve it warm.
The finished product! (Don't mind the messy presentation.
My family was eating them so quickly, I had to take any photo op I could get!)
Makes 20 pieces, serves four, roughly $3.00 a batch.
