1

2 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut into 4 pieces each)

1/2 cup all

purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 eggs (beaten)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder and black pepper.

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Dip each piece of mozzarella cheese into the flour mixture and coat evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour before dipping into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly on all sides. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces of cheese until all are coated in breadcrumbs.

Bake for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and melted on the inside. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch dressing!
