Healthy Mozzarella Sticks

My friend Dyan made these for us Super Bowl Sunday and we love them. We make them all the time! They are baked instead of fried but I promise they are still SO yummy!

16 mozzarella sticks (a.k.a. string cheese)
1/8 cup flour
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 TBS oregano
2 eggs
1 TBS water
Marinara sauce for dipping

1. Mix eggs and water together
2. Mix dry ingredients together
3. Foil line a baking sheet
4. Coat cheese stick with egg
5. Coat with crumb mixture (make sure to get the ends and everything)
6. Place on cookie sheet
7. Place in freezer and let set for a bit (at least 30 minutes but you could do hours too)
8. Do a second coating of the egg and then crumbs
9. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes--but check starting at 6 minutes to make sure they're not oozing out)

Eat them while still warm but if the cheese hardens throw them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and cheese will melt again.
