Not sure this is a recipe, because making these is as simple as it gets. Homemade Mozzarella Cheese Sticks served with a side of Chunky Marinara! Ummmm, words can’t explain how good these are, so first, I will let the photos do the talking and then I will give you the ingredients and a few tips.
For the Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, you will need:
Egg Roll Wraps – not to be confused with the spring roll wraps found in the ethic food aisle at the grocery store. Usually you will find egg roll wraps in the produce section of your grocery store. Look next to the bagged salads or in that area.
A package of string cheese – I used the Frigo brand.
Baking Sheet
Aluminum Foil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil and/or Cooking Spray
For the Chunky Marinara, you will need:
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions
Garlic Salt
A small sauce pan
Parmesan Cheese
Oregano
Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
I chose to make 12 Cheese Sticks, so I used 6 full sized string cheese and cut them in half. This seemed to work perfectly. Next I lined a baking sheet with aluminum foil and sprayed it with cooking spray for easy clean-up. I used one full egg roll wrapper and rolled a ½ sized string cheese in it, placing each one on my baking sheet as I was finished. I proceeded until all 12 string cheese were wrapped. I then brushed the top of each of the finished cheese sticks with EVOO. If you don’t have EVOO, you could always lightly spray them with cooking spray. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and flip the cheese sticks. Brush again with EVOO and bake for an additional 8 minutes so both sides are golden brown.
Chunky Marina
Drain the can of diced tomatoes and add to a small sauce pan. Lightly smash the tomatoes. Season with garlic salt and a little parmesan. Cook until warm and garnish the top with some oregano.
Please let me know if you give this a try. I would love to know what you think. You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Share photos of your Baked Mozarella Cheese Sticks, I would love to see them.
Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, Happy Cooking!
