Mozzarella sticks recipe - 40 cal each, 4g protein

I think I found it!



Low Calorie Mozzarella Sticks



Ingredients:

12 whole Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks, 2% Milk

1 large Whole Egg

2 tbsp Flour

8 tbsp Bread Crumbs (I used 4C Italian Seasoned Panko)

3 tsp Italian Seasoning

2 tsp Parsley Flakes

1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese



Instructions:

Unwrap your String Cheeses and cut each in half so that you are left with 24 mini-string cheeses. Place these into a Ziploc bag and put them into the freezer – LEAVE IN THE FREEZER UNTIL COMPLETELY FROZEN! Do not take out of the freezer until all other components of the recipe are ready – these need to be as frozen as possible to prevent them from melting in the oven.


Preheat oven to 400°.

Scoop 2 tbsp of Flour onto a small, ridged plate, and shake until a thin layer of flour is formed across the plate. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk one large Egg until thoroughly beaten. Set aside.

In another small bowl, combine your Bread Crumbs, Italian Seasoning, Parsley, and Parmesan Cheese, and stir until thoroughly combined. Crush your bread crumb mixture with a spoon until there are no particularly large lumps – it doesn’t need to be as fine as flour, but the crumbs should be pretty small.

Line a large cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with PAM Olive Oil cooking spray, and set aside.

Once ALL OF THIS is set up and your cheese is COMPLETELY FROZEN – remove the cheese from the freezer. With each cheese, repeat the following: Roll the cheese first in the flour until evenly coated, then dip it into the egg, and then roll in the bread crumb mixture until thoroughly coated. Place the coated cheese stick onto the prepared cookie sheet. Once all sticks have been coated, place the mozzarella sticks in the oven for 4 minutes. Remove the pan, turn each stick over, and then place back into the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the sticks have lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t get melty.

Remove and enjoy!


** Additionally, if you wish, you may first coat the mozzarella sticks and THEN store them in the freezer until completely frozen, and remove them once they are ready to be baked. **
