Baked Cheese sticks

Ingredients:

4 Bread Crumbs (finely crushed to Bread crust or left over Bread)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
Salt to Taste( Mozarella Cheese is naturally salty in taste, avoid adding salt or stick to a pinch of it)
1 (8 ounce) package lowfat mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Set oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly grease a medium pan lined with foil.
In a large bowl, combine the Bread Crumbs,garlic  and salt.
In another small bowl place in the flour.
In another bowl thoroughly beat the egg whites with the 2 tbsp of water.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into 12 sticks, approximately 2-3/4-inches in length.
Dip the cheese sticks in the flour, then in the egg/water mix, then in the cereal mixture (make sure that the cheese sticks are well coated with egg mix and cereal mix, as the cheese will run out while baking).
Arrange cheese sticks on the baking sheet.
Allow the sticks to set for 30 minutes before baking.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes, until cheese is soft and sticks are lightly browned.
