Directions
Prep:5 mCook:5 mReady:15 m
- Preheat a toaster oven on the broil setting; alternatively, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a small baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
- Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate small bowl.
- Insert a toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to the mid-way point. Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet and coat with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.
- Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.
