Fried Mozzarella Stick Dip
  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (205 °C).

  2. In a large bowl, stir mozzarella and cream cheese to evenly combine. Scrape mixture into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Using an offset spatula, smooth surface into an even layer. Add marinara sauce and tilt pan from side to side to evenly distribute.

  3. Bake until lightly browned around the edges, bubbling slightly, and molten in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, Prepare the Topping: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add panko, stirring to evenly coat with butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix to combine. Transfer to a plate; let cool slightly.

  5. Scatter panko mixture all over surface of dip and garnish with torn basil leaves. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
