Here’s a recipe for Weight Watchers 1 Point Mozzarella Sticks:
Ingredients:
- 6 light string cheese sticks (part-skim mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Prepare Breading Station:
- In three separate shallow dishes, set up a breading station. Place whole wheat flour in the first dish, beaten egg in the second dish, and Italian-style breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt in the third dish.
- Coat Cheese Sticks:
- Take each string cheese stick and dip it into the whole wheat flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated on all sides. Then, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Repeat Coating:
- For an extra crispy coating, repeat the dipping process: coat the cheese stick in egg once more, then breadcrumbs.
- Freeze Cheese Sticks:
- Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line another baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Bake Mozzarella Sticks:
- Arrange the frozen mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced. Lightly spray the tops of the sticks with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the mozzarella sticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
