Grease a small baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate small bowl. Insert a toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to the mid-way point. Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet and coat with additional cooking spray for uniform browning. Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute. I Made It Print 43 home cooks made it!
