Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 mozzarella sticks
1 egg
2 Tbsp flour
5 Tbsp bread crumbs
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
a dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then put the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
  • 2. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
  • 3. To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
  • 4. Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
  • 5. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don't melt completely!

Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
10 egg roll wrappers
10 mozzarella string cheese sticks
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, then set aside. Place the bread crumbs into a plastic bag, and set aside.
  • Separate and place an egg roll wrapper onto your work surface with one of the tips pointed towards you. Moisten the two far edges of the wrapper with water. Place a string cheese stick onto the corner nearest you, and roll it in 1/3 of the way, fold over the right and left corners, then continue rolling to the end, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining string cheese sticks and egg roll wrappers.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Dip the mozzarella sticks into the egg wash, then toss in the bread crumbs. Cook in batches in the hot oil until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
