Baked Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients:

2 Packages (5oz each) string cheese
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter melted
Marinara sauce


1. Remove cheese from packages; cut each cheese stick in half crosswise.

2. Combine flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish. Beat egg whites with water in another shallow dish until well mixed. Combine bread crumbs, oregano and salt in a third shallow dish.

3. Coat cheese with flour mixture. Dip into egg white mixture, being sure to coat thoroughly, including ends. Coat with bread mixture. Dip into egg whites and bread crumbs a second time, being sure ends are coated. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Freeze at least 1 hour.

4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle cheese sticks with melted butter. Bake until crumbs just begin to brown, 5-7 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
