On my quest for healthy eating, I find myself with cravings. I sometimes crave deep fried things like… mozzarella bites. Here is a simple recipe that scratches that itch for me.
.
Just take some low fat string cheese (for this picture I used two of the Weight Watcher brand Light Smoked) and cut them into pieces. Dip them into egg whites or skim milk (I used the milk for these, but I think I prefer the egg wash) and then bread crumbs. I like the Italian flavored bread crumbs, but plain work just fine. You can add in any spices or Parmesan cheese if you want. Spray your pan with cooking spray, place your bites on the pan and then spray your bites with the spray. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes. I make these in my toaster oven where I can keep an eye on them. You don’t want them to puddle up. The more fat in your cheese sticks, the less time they need to cook. I’m not sure you can make them with regular fat cheese sticks! So ymmv.

I eat mine with sugar free marinara. Delicious!!
