1 Point Mozzarella Stick

Ingredients:

• ¾ Packet of Shake n Bake Coating

• 1.5 tablespoons of Italian Seasoning (opt for Mrs. Dash for a salt-conscious choice)

• 1 Egg

• 12 Light Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks

Instructions:

1. Freezing Preparation: Begin by cutting the string cheese sticks in half and freezing them until solid, approximately two hours.

2. Coating Process: Once frozen, combine Shake n Bake seasoning and Italian Seasoning in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well-combined. Dip each frozen string cheese piece into the egg, followed by the breading mixture.

3. Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Place the coated mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 5-8 minutes, keeping a vigilant eye to prevent overcooking and ensure the cheese remains encased in its crispy breading.

4. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to golden perfection, serve these mouthwatering mozzarella sticks with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are – a perfectly crunchy, cheesy snack.
