A simple and quick snack using pantry staples and pre-packaged string cheese for a reliable melt every time.
Instructions
- Unwrap the Cheese sticks and cut them in half crosswise to create 16 smaller pieces.
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the Breading breadcrumbs.
- Coat each piece of cheese in flour, dip into the egg, and then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- For a thicker crust, dip the breaded cheese back into the egg and once more into the breadcrumbs.
- Place the sticks on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the frozen sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and mist generously with the Breading cooking spray.
- Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with warmed Serving marinara sauce.
