Low-Fat Baked Cheese Sticks - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 cups corn flakes cereal (finely crushed to measure 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
1 (8 ounce) package lowfat mozzarella cheese (can use full fat cheese) or (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, strings (can use full fat cheese)
Preparation
-
Set oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly grease a medium pan lined with foil.
In a large bowl, combine the crushed 1 cup cereal with the oregano and garlic salt, mix to combine.
In another small bowl place in the flour. In another bowl thoroughly beat the egg whites with the 2 tbsp of water.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into 12 sticks, approximately 2-3/4-inches in length.
Dip the cheese sticks in the flour, then in the egg/water mix, then in the cereal mixture (make sure that the cheese sticks are well coated with egg mix and cereal mix, as the cheese will run out while baking).
Arrange cheese sticks on the baking sheet.
Allow the sticks to set for 30 minutes before baking.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes, until cheese is soft and sticks are lightly browned.
Recipe can be doubled for more cheese sticks.
