Healthy Mozzarella Sticks - holy protein Batman!
As a vegetarian, I am always looking for delicious easy recipes that are packed with protein. This recipe for healthier mozzarella sticks is definitely a new favorite! They're not that low-calorie, so I save them for treat days
Recipe not mine, originally posted on http://everycollegegirl.com/how-to-cook-healthy-mozzarella-sticks/
I adapted it to make one serving, and added a couple of ingredients.
Ingredients:
6 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese, go for the low sodium kind if you want to be extra healthy
1 egg white
1 tbsp of flour
2.5 tbsp of bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp of parmesan cheese
A dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray
Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 12 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs, spices, and parmesan cheese.
To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don’t melt completely! Serve with a little marinara.
Here's the nutrition info (I didn't end up using all of the egg white or breadcrumb mixture, and kept that in mind when calculating):
Calories 473; Carbs 23g; Fat 27g; Protein 43g
