♥Healthy Oven-Baked Crispy Cheese Sticks!! With Marinara & Honey Mustard & Ranch Dips made with Fat-Free Greek Yogurt!! SO Good!!!

Well that was some week!! Sorry I was not able to post any new recipes this week...work had me super busy since we are leaving for our 2 week safari in Africa soon!! YEEAAHH! Anyhow.... so tonight I made some Italian feta chicken and paired it with these scrumptious cheese sticks!!! DELICIOUS!!!! The texture was so crispy and so gooey in every bite! AND HEALTHY!!!! Who knew?!!! MMMmmmm Mmmmm ENJOY this one! =)

Healthy Oven-Baked Cheese Sticks: 
10 Low-Fat, Part Skim Cheese Sticks cut in half
2 Eggs
2 Tbs Flour
5 Tbs Italian Breadcrumbs
5 Tbs Panko Breadcrumbs
1 Tsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Tsp Dried Parsley
Olive Oil Spray

Directions:
  • Pre-Heat Oven to 400*
  • After cutting the cheese in half place in the freezer for 30 minutes and freeze the cheese sticks. This process helps so they do not melt when baked!
  • In 3 small bowls place beaten eggs in one, flour in another, and the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley in the other.
  • After 30 minutes, remove cheese sticks from oven and start dipping them in the bowls.
  • First dip in the egg, them roll in the flour, back into the egg, and them toss in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on aluminum foil or non-stick stoneware (I ALWAYS use my Pampered Chef Pizza Stoneware)!! =)
  • Repeat this process for as many cheese sticks you want to make!
  • VERY IMPORTANT STEP: AFTER you bread the cheese sticks place them BACK INTO THE FREEZER for 20-30 more minutes. You MUST not skip this step or you will have an oven of melted cheese!! =) 
  • Once ready to bake. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turn and bake for 5-6 minutes longer or until slightly brown and crispy looking. Make sure to watch them so they do not start to bulge out! 
  • These turned out SO good & juicy! I made HEALTHY Ranch Dressing (which is super easy to make) Just 1 Hidden Valley Ranch season packet, 2 Cups of Fat-Free Greek Yogurt, and 1 Tbs of Dijon Mustard. This is one of my favorites!! ENJOY!!!
  • ONLY 40 CALORIES EACH!!! =)
This meal was so good & tasty!!  MMMmmmm MMMmmmm
