Ingrédients
Olive oil cooking spray
1 spray(s), (5 one second sprays), enough to coat baking sheet and cheese sticks
Canned tomato sauce
8 oz
Ground oregano
2 tsp(s)
Whole wheat bread
2 slice(s), torn
Dried thyme
1 tsp(s)
Part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 oz, cut into 8 finger-like strips
Honey mustard
2 tbsp(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce and 1 teaspoon of oregano; set pan over low heat and simmer 10 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine bread, remaining teaspoon of oregano and thyme; process until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Place crumbs in a shallow bowl. (Tip: Use the ends of the loaf of bread for the bread crumbs since those slices are often uneaten.)
4
Coat cheese sticks with honey mustard. Transfer cheese to bread-crumb mixture and turn to coat. Arrange cheese on prepared baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray.
5
Bake until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce on the side. Yields 2 cheese sticks and about 1/4 cup of sauce per serving.
