Original Recipe HERE
I knew the kids would eat this. "Melted cheese" makes anything edible (except, apparently, asparagus and Brussels sprouts). Making melted cheese the main ingredient could result in a feeding frenzy. They had fun helping me make this side dish and, of course, consuming it. I served it with regular jarred pasta sauce for dipping.
I didn't feel like dirtying another pan, so I put a piece of parchment paper in the baking sheet instead of greasing it. The cheeses started spreading into each other before the panko and breadcrumbs had time to brown and really crisp up. Maybe increasing the oven temperature, so they'd get "shocked" with more heat would work? Or maybe that would just turn everything on the baking sheet into a cheesy, crumb-y puddle.
Ingredients
8 string cheese sticks
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup Panko
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
