These are great served hot with salsa or pizza sauce. They take a little effort but are worth it!! The coating is made with finely crushed cornflakes cereal, lightly spiced.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cornflakes cereal

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 egg whites

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking pan lined with foil.

  2. In a large, shallow bowl, crush the corn cereal to 1 cup. Mix together the corn cereal, oregano and garlic salt.

  3. Place the flour in a small bowl.

  4. In another small bowl, thoroughly beat the egg whites and water.

  5. Cut the mozzarella cheese into 12 sticks approximately 2 3/4 inches in length. Dip the cheese sticks in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the cereal mixture. Repeat dipping in the egg and cereal mixture to ensure a complete coating. Arrange cheese sticks on the baking pan. Allow the sticks to set for 30 minutes.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven about 8 minutes until cheese is soft and sticks are lightly browned.
