- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs

- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs.
- Dip each mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the panko bread crumbs.
- Coat the mozzarella sticks evenly with the bread crumbs.
- Place the mozzarella sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Spray the mozzarella sticks with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the mozzarella sticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips:
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the mozzarella sticks in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- You can add other seasonings to the bread crumbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the mozzarella sticks with your favourite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
