Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 pound mozzarella cheese cut into 3/4 by 3/4 inch strips

  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the milk and eggs. Place the flour in a separate bowl and the bread crumbs in another bowl.
