👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat a toaster oven on broil setting, or set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Spray a small baking sheet with cooking spray.

Insert toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to mid-way point.

Beat egg in a small bowl.

Place bread crumbs in a separate small bowl.

Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press into bread crumbs.

Repeat dipping in egg and breadcrumbs for a double-thick coating.

Place cheese sticks on prepared baking sheet and spray with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.

Broil in preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.
