As many of you know, I’m not the best baker – I can follow a recipe and bake up something, but cooking appetizers, dinners, breakfasts, and crock pot meals is what I do best. I can throw together a recipe in no time.
Delta asked me to share with you something fun to eat and make with your kids so you can enjoy the mess and family time together .
Lately my kids have been begging for us to make these homemade mozzarella cheese sticks again. My oh my are these good. Like seriously good. The best part is the kids make them and love it. They get to get messy in the kitchen and are proud of their final result.
Here is what you need:
- 12 Mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese) – cut in half
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 2 eggs beat together
- 1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup of Panko Bread crumbs
- 1/8 cup of parmesan cheese
How to make Homemade Mozzarella Cheese sticks:
- You will need 3 small bowls. Place flour in one bowl, eggs in a second bowl and then both bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
- Cut each string cheese in half and line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Coat one sting cheese in the flour, then in the eggs, then in the bread crumb mixture. Place on the cookie sheet. Get the kids involved. Our girls LOVED making their own cheese sticks.
- Continue to do this until all of the string cheese are on the cookie sheet.
- Place in the freezer for one hour until frozen through.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake for about 5 minutes until they begin to brown and get soft.
Oh my – my kids (and me!) are in heaven over here.
Now you are going to get messy, but isn’t that the point of it all. The food is delicious, but it is the experience and the mess with the kids that is truly the fun part. So this year, get a little messy with the kids and make a new tradition with these homemade mozzarella cheese sticks.
