Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together crushed cereal, bread crumbs, Parmesan ceese and spices. Whisk together with a fork to combine.
In another bowl beat egg with water.
Dip each piece of cheese first in the egg, then in the crumb mixture. Repeat if you need to until the cheese is thoroughly covered in crumbs.
Place pieces on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake about 10 minutes or until crispy. Cheese may bubble through the crumbs. That’s ok!
Allow to cool 2-3 minutes before serving with warm marinara or spaghetti sauce
