I'VE GOT THE NEED, THE NEED FOR FRIED CHEESE!
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil to 325 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly. In another shallow bowl, combine the panko and Italian breadcrumbs.
- Dredge 1 side of an egg roll wrapper in the egg wash. Place the wrapper egg wash-side up on a work surface and put 2 salami slices in the center of the wrapper, toward the edge closest to you. Place 1 cheese stick on top of the salami. Roll the wrapper edge closest to you over the filling. Tuck in the ends and continue to roll until you have an egg roll shape.
- Dredge the rolled wrapper in the egg wash again and thoroughly coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. (The rolls can be frozen for future use at this point.)
- Add 1 or 2 rolls to the oil at a time and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook them or cook them on too high a temperature, as the wraps may explode. Transfer the fried cheese rolls to the paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately with marinara sauce. Garnish with parmesan and parsley, if desired.

- Cut the cheese into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Coat the cheese in flour before frying: This will help the cheese brown and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Use a shallow layer of oil in the pan: This will help the cheese cook evenly without burning.
- Cook the cheese over medium heat: Be patient, and fry until the cheese is golden brown and melted.
- Drain the cheese on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil from the cheese.
- Serve the cheese immediately: Serve the cheese immediately, while it is still hot and melted.
