CHEESE and TOMATOES, how can you go wrong! Well I might be tempted to put a little onion
on this first recipe and maybe some
mushrooms…but not because I think it needs it, just for a little substance and
then it could be a MEAL!!! While we are
on the subject of tomatoes, let’s just make this a TWO for TUESDAY and have
another little Tomato recipe also!! (Actually
I am gonna give you a third recipe with CHEESE, because it is FAT TUESDAY, I
mean Cheese Day, after all!! And now for
a little humor, sadly not my own =(,
This first one is not really funny…but might be good for us calorie

guessed…I am easily entertained!

Dip the frozen sticks in flour, shaking off excess, then into
the egg, then coat with the crumbs
Repeat this process with the remaining cheese placing them
on a tray with wax paper.
Place cheese back into the freezer until ready to bake (this

Place frozen cheese sticks on baking sheet.
Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with a little more
oil and bake in the bottom third of your oven until crisp, about 4 to 5
minutes.
Turn and bake an additional 4 - 5 minutes watching them
closely so they don't melt.
