Preparation
- Slice string cheese pieces in half, for a total of 32 pieces.
- Place flour in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
- In another separate bowl, combine panko bread crumbs with parsley flakes.
- TO ASSEMBLE: One by one, roll mozzarella sticks in flour, then dunk in egg/milk mixture, then place in panko crumbs. Use your hand to sweep crumbs all over the mozzarella stick. Gently remove and place on a tray or cookie sheet. Repeat until all mozzarella sticks are coated.

- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.
