In medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, spinach,mozzarella, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Transfer the mixture to a square baking pan lined with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly in the dish. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Invert the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls. Dip the spinach dip sticks into the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs, then back into the eggs and finally back into breadcrumbs. Set the breadcrumbs sticks a side on a plate.
