Cheese Sticks

Ingredients
4 cups cornflakes cereal
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
1 (8 oz) package mozzarella

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease a medium baking pan lined with foil.
In a large, shallow bowl, crush the corn cereal to 1 cup.
Mix together the corn cereal, oregano, and garlic salt.
Place the flour in a small bowl.
In another small bowl, thoroughly beat the egg whites and water.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into 12 sticks approximately 2 3/4 inches in length.
Dip the cheese sticks in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the cereal mixture.
Repeat dipping in the egg and cereal mixture to ensure a complete coating.
Arrange cheese sticks on the baking pan.
Allow the sticks to set for 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven about 8 minutes until cheese is soft and sticks are lightly browned.

Notes
Tried these once without spices and used Gardettos (Garlic flavor). Very tasty.
