Description
Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, these baked wonton-wrapped cheese sticks are a healthier twist on a classic appetizer, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 low-fat mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese)
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Cooking spray
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray. - Prepare the Cheese Sticks:
Unwrap each mozzarella stick and place it in the center of a wonton wrapper. - Wrap the Cheese Sticks:
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal. Fold the wrapper over the cheese stick, tucking in the sides, and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges completely to prevent the cheese from oozing out while baking. - Place on the Baking Sheet:
Arrange the wrapped cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven. - Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. - Cool Slightly:
Allow the cheese sticks to cool for a minute or two before serving, as the cheese inside will be hot and gooey! - Serve:
Enjoy the warm wonton-wrapped cheese sticks with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Variation: Add herbs or spices to the egg wash for extra flavor.
