Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1.5 cups Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Coat each cheese stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, then repeat the egg and breadcrumbs for a double coat.
  2. Freeze the coated sticks for 30 minutes so they hold their shape.
  3. Heat the oil to 350 F.
  4. Fry the sticks in batches for about 1 minute until golden.
  5. Drain and serve immediately with marinara.

Notes

Freezing first is non-negotiable or the cheese leaks out.
