Fried Mozzarella Sticks
String cheese sticks cut in half
Italian seasoned bread crumbs
flour
beaten egg
oil for frying
Sorry, there are no measurements because this is kind of a no brainer, and it just depends on how many you want to cook.
Cut the cheese sticks in half. Then prepare a small bowl of flour (I use a cereal bowl with no more than 1/2 c. flour), a small bowl of beaten egg, and a small bowl of Italian Bread Crumbs.
1. Dip the cheese in the flour, tap the side of the bowl to remove excess flour.
2. Dip the cheese in the egg.
3. Dip the cheese in the Italian bread crumbs.
4. Dip the cheese back into the beaten egg.
5. Dip the cheese back into the bread crumbs.
6. Fry on low heat about 2-3 minutes, or until a nice golden brown.
Remove from the hot oil onto paper towels to blot excess oil.
If the oil it too hot then the cheese won't melt very much inside before the breading is done. If the oil is too cool then it will take a long time to cook the outside and will result in greasy cheese sticks.
