Pour flour into another shallow bowl. Using a third bowl, combine bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese. Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.3. Remove frozen mozzarella sticks from freezer and roll in the flour, then dunk in the egg mixture, roll in the flour once again, back into the beaten egg and evenly coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat. When finished, place baking sheet back into the freezer for 30 minutes or until ready to be baked (if you are making these ahead of time, transfer the breaded cheese sticks to a freezer bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn).4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. When oven is ready, remove mozzarella sticks from freezer and spray the tops lightly with the cooking spray. Put in the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes.
