• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

• 1 tbsp Parsley flakes

• 1 tbsp Oregano

3. Place cracker “breadcrumbs” in a medium bowl and add in the Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix together evenly.

4. In another small bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs.

5. Take the frozen mozzarella sticks and first dip in egg, and then dip into the breadcrumb bowl and flip them around until they are evenly coated. Continue until they are all complete.

6. Place coated sticks in freezer for about 30-45 minutes.

7. Once frozen, heat oven to 400 degrees F.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
