Set up a breading station. In a small shallow bowl mix the flour with plenty of salt and pepper. Add beaten eggs to a second bowl. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko crumbs, the Cheez-It® crumbs and the ranch seasoning mix together.

Working one at a time, dip a piece of cheese into the egg mixture, followed by the flour mixture, then back into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure the crumbs stick.

Set the cheese stick on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining cheese. When all are prepared, freeze the sticks 30–60 minutes.
