Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 sticks of part-skim mozzarella (or string cheese)

  • 2 large organic eggs, beaten

  • 1/4 cup almond flour or whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup crushed protein chips (Quest or low-carb tortilla chips)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Avocado oil spray (for baking or air frying)

Instructions

  1. Prep the cheese: Cut mozzarella into sticks (or use whole string cheese). Freeze for 30–45 minutes.

  2. Create breading stations:

    • Bowl 1: flour + salt

    • Bowl 2: beaten eggs

    • Bowl 3: crushed protein chips + seasoning

  3. Bread the cheese: Dip each stick into flour, then egg, then the chip mixture. Repeat egg and crumbs for double coating.

  4. Bake or air fry:

    • Air fryer: 375°F for 6–8 minutes

    • Oven: 400°F for 10–12 minutes

  5. Serve hot with your favorite high-protein dip.

Notes

  • Freeze the sticks before cooking to prevent cheese from melting too fast.

  • For extra crunch, double bread the sticks.

  • Substitute almond flour with gluten-free options if needed.

  • Pair with Greek yogurt ranch or hummus for added protein.

 

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
