Baked Mozzarella Bites

This is one of my favorite appetizers (snacks) ever.  They are not that great for you but these are a little more WW friendly.  I know a little boy who might like them as well.  I know his Grandma will LOVE them!

1/3 C. panko
3 1oz. mozzarella string cheese sticks
3 tbsp. egg substitute or 1 egg white beaten
Cooking spray
1/4 C. lower sodium marinara sauce

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.  Add 1/3 C. panko to pan and cook 2 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat, and place the panko in a shallow dish. 

Cut mozzarella sticks into 1 inch pieces.  Working iwht once piece at a time, dip cheese in egg, dredge in panko.  Place cheese on a backing sheet coated in cooking spray.  Bake at 425 for 3 minutes or until cheese is softened and thoroughly heated.

Pour the marinara sauce into a microwave safe dish.  Microwave on high 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, stirring after 30 seconds.  Serve with mozzarella bites.
