1 cup GF Bread Crumb
½ tsp Garlic Salt
½ tsp Dried Parsley
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
¼ tsp Onion Powder
1 dash Oregano
1 ⅓ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
12 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
4 Large Eggs
Marinara Sauce (for dipping)
1In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, garlic salt, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Add 1 cup of Parmesan.
2In a separate bowl, beat eggs until mixed. Cut each cheese stick so they are half as long. Dip the cheese sticks into the eggs to coat completely, and allow excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Roll the sticks in the bread crumb mixture until they are completely covered.
3Frying: Place the sticks on a baking sheet and freeze them. This will help the breading stay on the cheese. (If you are not feeling patient, you can fry them without freezing them first, but the breading is more likely to slip off.)
Heat 1 ½ c. canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the cheese sticks until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the fried sticks to a paper towel-covered plate.
Baking: Place the sticks on a baking sheet. Bake in a 400° oven for 8 minutes. (Do not overcook or the cheese will melt all over your pan!)
4Serve with marinara sauce.
