👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 375°F

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Ensure parchment paper is large enough to cover the entire baking sheet.
2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Cheese mixture should be well combined and slightly sticky.
3

Add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Use a gentle folding motion to avoid developing gluten in the flour.
4

Using your hands, shape the cheese mixture into 8-10 sticks, each about 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.

⏱️ 8 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Cheese sticks should be smooth and even in shape.
5

In a small bowl, beat the egg for an egg wash. Dip each cheese stick into the egg wash, coating completely, then place on the prepared baking sheet.

⏱️ 4 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Make sure to coat the cheese sticks evenly to prevent them from sticking together.
6

Brush the tops of the cheese sticks with melted butter, if using.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Optional: For an extra crispy top, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
7

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

⏱️ 14 min (ish) 🌡️ 375°F

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Cheese sticks should be puffed and golden brown on both sides.
8

Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Serve immediately to prevent cheese sticks from becoming soggy.
