Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 units Egg whites
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Dried Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the low-fat cheese into approximately 1 cm thick sticks or cubes, depending on your preference.
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
In a third dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, dried Italian herbs, and garlic powder.
Dredge a piece of cheese in the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured cheese piece into the egg whites, coating it completely.
Transfer the cheese to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure a good coating on all sides.
Place the breaded cheese on a plate and repeat the process with the remaining cheese pieces.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
Arrange the breaded cheese pieces on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not touch each other.
Lightly spray the tops of the breaded cheese with cooking spray to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving as the cheese inside will be very hot.
Serve with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or enjoy them plain as a delicious, low-fat snack.
