Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil, for drizzling

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Prepare Station: Get your breading station ready by placing the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in a second shallow dish, and a mix of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a third shallow dish.

      Bread the Mozzarella: Take each mozzarella stick and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Place the coated mozzarella sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all mozzarella sticks are coated.

        Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the breaded mozzarella sticks with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil on top to help them crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your crispy baked mozzarella dippers!
