6. Waffle Cheese Sticks

Frying cheese sticks makes a fair amount of mess because of the popping grease. You can eliminate that problem by making your cheese sticks in the waffle iron. Cool, huh?

½ teaspoon paprika
½ pound mozzarella, cut into ½-inch thick slices
2 beaten eggs
½ cup bread crumbs
Cooking spray
Salsa

Directions:

Preheat your waffle iron to medium. Mix the flour and paprika on a small plate. Put the eggs in a bowl and spread the breadcrumbs on another plate. Coat each piece of cheese in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs. Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and fill it with as many cheese sticks as will fit. Close the waffle iron and cook for 1 minute. Repeat with remaining cheese sticks. Serve with salsa.
