1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Optional: your favorite marinara sauce for dipping

whisk

bowl

frying pan

aluminum foil

baking sheet

oven

Cooking instruction summary:

Cut the cheese sticks in half. You will have 24 pieces. Place the cheese in the freezer until the cheese is frozen, several hours or overnight. (I place them on a small, parchment or wax paper-lined tray so they dont freeze to the pan.)In small bowl, whisk the egg. Place the flour on a small dish or in a zipper-top bag. In separate bowl or bag, thoroughly combine the panko, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried herbs and salt.Dip the frozen sticks in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them in the egg, followed by the crumb mixture. Be sure to coat the ends, too. This coating will form a thin crust that will give structure to the cheese as it begins to soften. (I find it easiest to use one hand as the hand used for dipping will get rather messy.)Repeat this process with the remaining pieces of cheese, placing them on a parchment or wax paper-lined tray as you go. Place the cheese back in the freezer until ready to bake. The cheese must be completely frozen for good results. Once frozen, you may transfer the sticks to a zipper-top back and store until ready to use.When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with oil.Place the frozen cheese sticks on the baking sheet, and spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with olive oil. Bake 3-4 minutes. Turn the sticks over, and bake an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese sticks are lightly golden and just soft through the center. Watch them VERY closelyafter you flip themso they dont melt. Serve immediately with optional marinara sauce for dipping. Like any cheese, these will firm up as they coolbut will still taste great!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
