Serves 1
Directions

- 4Pour the seasoned breadcrumbs onto a plate.
- 5Set up flour and eggs in separate containers for breading.

- 7Chill the breaded cheese sticks in the freezer.
- 8While cheese sticks chill, melt a good amount of butter in a pot for the sauce.

- 10Once the sauce starts to thicken, grate in a whole bunch of fresh Parmigiano Reggiano.
