Instructions: Taste of Home. It won a prize in their cheese contest. Mary Merchant of

In a small bowl, beat eggs and water. In a plastic bag, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Coat cheese sticks in flour, then dip in egg mixture and bread crumb mixture. Repeat egg and bread crumb coatings. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet; drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 6 to 8 minutes or until heated through. Allow to stand for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Use marinara or spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Note: Regular mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 inch by 1/2 inch sticks can be substituted for the string cheese.
