Get ready for a cheesy delight! These crispy, gluten-free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks are perfect for a snack or party appetizer. Ingredients: - 6 Mozzarella Sticks - 1/2 cup grated dry Parmesan cheese - 1 1/2 cups fried pork rinds - 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend - 1 egg - 2 tsps water Directions: 1. Start by cutting each mozzarella stick in half cross-wise and set them aside for now. 2. In a small shallow dish, combine the egg and water, then whisk them together until well blended. 3. Take your fried pork rinds and crush them using a rolling pin or blend them in a blender until you have about 1/2 cup of crumbly goodness. 4. In another shallow baking pan, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, and Italian seasoning. 5. Now, it’s time to coat the mozzarella sticks! Dip each stick into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully coated, then roll it in the crumb mixture. For an extra crispy coating, repeat this step once more. 6. Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate or tray that fits in the freezer. Freeze them for about 2 hours to get that perfect texture. 7. Once they’re frozen, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking. 8. Take the mozzarella sticks straight from the freezer and place them on the prepared pan. If you want, give them a light spray with olive oil for some extra flavor. 9. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the cheese inside is warm and melty. 10. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
