Crunchy Baked Mozzarella Sticks

This one is a little if-y. I tried it twice and I would like to try it with regular breadcrumbs, maybe that would work better.

Ingredients:
1 egg
2 tsp. water
1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Shake of pepper
4 pieces mozzarella string cheese ( I like to cut cheese in half)
1 T. flour

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, beat egg and water.
2. Place panko, Italian seasoning and pepper on a plate
3. Coat cheese sticks with flour, dip in egg mixture and then panko mixture
4. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours
5. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 5 minutes or until warm, then run under broiler to brown (I didn't do).
6. Cool slightly before serving. Serve with snap peas for a healthy snack.
