- 6
skim mozzarella sticks
- 1 cup
panko bread crumbs
- 1 Tbsp.
olive oil
- 1 Tbsp.
- 2
large eggs, well-beaten
- 3 Tbsp.
all-purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp.
warm marinara
- 1/4 cup
Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Directions
- Step 1Freeze mozzarella sticks until frozen solid, at least 2 hours.
- Step 2Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the panko with the oil, breaking up some of the panko with your hands to a finer texture. Bake, stirring halfway through, until light golden, about 12 minutes. Turn off oven and let panko cool.
- Step 3When ready to bread, preheat the oven to 400°. Set up a breading station: In a shallow bowl whisk together cooled panko and ranch seasoning, in another bowl add eggs, and in another bowl add flour.
- Step 4Coat frozen mozzarella sticks in flour, then dip in egg, then panko, repeat egg, and repeat panko. Arrange on a baking sheet.
- Step 5Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully so the cheese doesn’t ooze. Serve with warm marinara sauce and ranch dressing for dipping.
