Baked Mozzarella Cheese Stick

The girls are having a slumber party tonight. Right now my oldest is upstairs with her friend watching a scary show, so what better way to enjoy it then with some finger food?

Their friend told me they were amazing 3 times after she took her first bite. It is good to know we can finally make our favorite appetizer in the comfort of our own home.


Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Prep Time: 40 minutes
Bake Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 51 minutes
Serving Size: 4 people

Ingredients:

1 package string cheese
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs
2T milk

Instructions:

1. Unwrap the string cheese and cut in half.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Make one small bowl of flour. In another small bowl beat together the eggs and milk. Then in a final bowl place the bread crumbs.
4. Roll the mozzarella sticks in the flour.
5. Dip the flour coated mozzarella stick in the egg mixture.
6. Roll the mozzarella stick in the bread crumbs while pressing the crumbs onto the stick.
7. On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil arrange the mozzarella sticks. Then place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes (this hardens the cheese so it does not melt all over the cookie sheet).
8. Remove mozzarella sticks from the freezer and bake in oven for 12 minutes.

Enjoy the mozzarella sticks with a side of marinara sauce.

Once you are done snacking the next best thing to do is a craft at a slumber party. We had some fun with crayons.

 
 
The crayon art was a fun project, but I would recommend using a canvas as well as having a surface to lean the picture up against. We hot glued crayons to drawing paper and put a hair dryer on high to melt the crayons. I held up the pages while each girl designed the paper with the hair dryer. Since I was holding it up the paper kept rolling and my fingers would get really hot when they would be doing the crayons by my hands. Also on the drawing paper you can see where the crayon oil is. I believe a canvas will not emphasis this as much.
 
I think that all of their artwork came out beautifully and I can not wait to try this again.
