Title: baked cheese sticks
Post by: mhilts22 on February 04, 2014, 07:21:47 PM

found a great recipe for people who love cheese like I do!!! Mozzarella cheese balls. 

Take mozzarella cheese sticks from grocery that are indivdually wrapped and cut in to chucks and soak in half and half.  then grind original flavored pork rinds in blender so they are like bread crumbs. Soak in half and half then roll in pork rinds until covered.  Heat oven at 425 degrees on cookie sheet(I put mine on parchament paper)for 8-10 minutes and serve with marinara.  Taste just like mozzarella sticks.  If you want, you can use the whole stick instead of cutting in chucks. I thought it was easier as a finger food as a ball. They were awesome.  hope you all enjoy

Sounds, great, Maureen! :) :) :)

I'm going to try this with zero carb heavy cream instead of half-n-half.

Thanks for sharing!

We tried these and they melted flat on our cookie sheet. We still munched in them and the flavor was perfect.  I'm wondering if they should be frozen after breading and before baking?
