(category: hot appetizer)

 
 2 eggs
 1 tbsp. water
 1 c. dry bread crumbs
 1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
 1/8 tsp. pepper
 12 sticks string cheese (6 sticks cut in half)
 3 tbsp. flour
 1 tbsp. butter, melted
 1 c. spaghetti, marinara, or pizza sauce
In a small bowl, beat eggs and water. In a plastic bag, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Coat cheese sticks in flour, then dip in egg mixture and bread crumb mixture. Repeat egg and bread crumb coatings.

Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight (very important, or the cheese will melt and flatten during baking).

Place on an ungreased baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Bake, uncovered, at 400F for 6-8 minutes or until heated through. Allow to stand 3 minutes before serving.
