Baked Mozzarella Bites With Marinara

Ingredients

• 12 ounces fat-free mozzarella string cheese
• 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce, warmed
• Non-stick cooking spray

Method

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
2. 2 Remove mozzarella from packaging and cut into bite-sized pieces.
3. 3 In a small non-stick skillet, combine oregano, basil, and bread crumbs. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crumbs are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
4. 4 Dip each piece of cheese in milk, then coat completely in the toasted breadcrumb mixture.
5. 5 Place cheese pieces on the baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
6. 6 Bake for 5-6 minutes or until heated through. If cheese melts slightly, press it back into shape. Serve with warmed marinara sauce.
