How to Make Homemade Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients:

• 12 sticks of mozzarella string cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Unwrap the cheese sticks and cut them in half, making 24 shorter sticks.
2. Place the flour in one bowl.
3. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the milk.
4. In a third bowl, pour in the breadcrumbs.
5. Dip each cheese stick first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
6. For a thicker coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps.
7. Place the coated sticks on a tray and freeze them for at least 1 hour (this keeps the cheese from melting too fast when frying).
8. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan over medium heat.
9. Fry a few sticks at a time for about 1–2 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove and drain on paper towels.
11. Serve hot with your favorite sauce.
