Instructions

  1. 1 Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in milk, then set aside.
  2. 2 Place bread crumbs into a resealable plastic bag; set aside.
  3. 3 Separate and lay an egg roll wrapper onto a flat, clean work surface with one of the tips pointed towards you. Moisten the two far edges of the wrapper with water. Place a string cheese stick onto the corner nearest you, then roll it in 1/3 of the way. Fold over the right and left corners, then continue rolling to the end, pressing to seal. Repeat this step with remaining string cheese sticks and egg roll wrappers.
  4. 4 Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 5 Dip mozzarella sticks into egg mixture, then toss in bread crumbs.
  6. 6 Working in batches, fry breaded mozzarella sticks in hot oil until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat a toaster oven on the broil setting; alternatively, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a small baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. 2 Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate small bowl.
  3. 3 Insert a toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to the mid-way point. Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet and coat with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.
  4. 4 Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (195 degrees C).
  2. 2 Set out egg roll wrappers point side down onto a clean work surface, facing you. Spread each wrapper with Dijon mustard to within about 1/2 inch of the edges. Place a slice of corned beef in the center, and top with drained sauerkraut.
  3. 3 Place a mozzarella stick on the bottom pointed end, tightly roll up about halfway. Fold in the sides, and continue rolling until just before you reach the end. Dip your finger in water, rub around the top point of the wrapper, and finish rolling to seal the wrapper.
  4. 4 Lightly spritz the air fryer basket with olive oil spray or line with a parchment liner. Place the mozzarella sticks seam side down into the basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Lightly spray each wrapper with olive oil spray.
  5. 5 Cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. You may have to cook in 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Serve immediately with thousand island dressing as a dip.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down the middle of the top of each chicken breast using a sharp knife, starting and ending about 1 inch from the end. Partially fold the chicken breast in half along the slice to continue shallow, horizontal slices on both sides; slices should resemble an upside-down capital T.
  3. 3 Spread 1/4 of the ricotta cheese into each pocket. Place string cheese and pesto over ricotta. Season outsides of breasts with garlic salt, black pepper, and cantanzaro herbs.
  4. 4 Place chicken in the prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
