Mozzarella sticks! They’re not difficult to make, but there are a couple of really important things you need to do in order to achieve success. Here’s what you need to know.
Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs, Beaten
- 12 (about 1 Oz. Size) Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks, Unwrapped
- 1 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- Olive Oil, For Frying
- Popcorn Salt For Sprinkling
- Tomato Sauce For Dipping
Preparation
Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Coat mozzarella sticks with beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat egg and breadcrumb step again. Place double-coated mozzarella sticks on a sheet pan or plate and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
In a tall sided nonstick sauce pan, gently heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat until it bubbles when a wooden spoon is placed in it. Fry 3 or 4 sticks at a time, turning when necessary and adjusting heat as needed. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels when brown and cheese begins to ooze; sprinkle immediately with popcorn salt or very fine salt. Serve with your favorite tomato sauce for dipping.
