HOMEMADE MOZZARELLA STICKS WITH STRING CHEESE

INGREDIENTS:

16oz String Cheese

1½ cups Italian breadcrumbs

2 eggs

2 tbsp Milk

Oil for frying

Marinara for dipping

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fill skillet with a couple inches of oil and heat to 365 degrees.

Whisk together milk and egg in a bowl.

Add breadcrumbs to a separate bowl.

Dip string cheese in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again and breadcrumbs again.

Deep fry in batches until crust is golden brown, about 1 minute.

Remove from fryer and let drain on a paper towel, then serve with marinara sauce.

NOTES

The cheese will melt fast so don't worry about the short fry time. If you over fry it the cheese will be too melted and unruly.

Tip: To prevent the breadcrumbs from getting clumpy in the bowl I don't add the full amount right away. I keep adding fresh crumbs as I'm breading the sticks.
