Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
I have ALWAYS loved Baked Mozzarella Sticks as an appetizer when dining out. Once I became gluten free I had to give up this special treat, sigh, but doggone it I should be able to make some that I can eat. Tah da, behold Baked Mozzarella Sticks Gluten Free and Cow’s Milk Free and need I say, they are beyond delish!!
These cheese sticks are crunchy on the outside and gooey, stringy warm cheesy goodness on the inside. I love the way that melted cheese tastes with the Italian seasoned bread crumbs. The biggest problem I had with these? I cannot stop with one, two heck I want to eat them all! They are that good and did I mention, pretty easy to make too!

*I usually do this earlier in the day or several days before I make them. I am usually making them for some type of get together because REALLY who needs to eat 12 cheese sticks all alone.
