Ingredients:
12 Food Club Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks 🧀
3 large eggs 🥚
2 tbsp milk 🥛
1 ½ cups breadcrumbs 🍞
1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
1 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1 tsp salt 🧂
½ tsp ground black pepper 🌶️
¼ cup all-purpose flour 🌾
1 cup marinara sauce for dipping 🍅
Food Club Cooking Spray for that perfect crunch! 🌟
👉Step 1: Prepare the Coating
Whisk eggs and milk in one bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Place flour in another bowl.
👉Step 2: Coat the Cheese Sticks
Cut cheese sticks in half. Roll each piece in flour to coat.
👉Step 3: Double-Coating for Extra Crispiness
Dip a floured cheese stick into the egg mixture. Roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently. Repeat the dipping and rolling process. Place coated sticks on a lined baking sheet.
👉Step 4: Freeze to Set
Freeze coated cheese sticks for at least 1 hour to help the coating adhere.
👉Step 5: Air Fry to Perfection
Preheat air fryer to 360°F. Spray basket with cooking spray. Arrange half of the frozen cheese sticks in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops.
👉Step 6: Crispy and Golden
Air fry the cheese sticks for 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Gently shake the basket to ensure even cooking, then air fry for an additional 1 to 3 minutes until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Keep a close eye on them!
👉Step 7: Repeat and Serve
Repeat air frying with remaining sticks. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
