Mozzerella Sticks!

It was kinda late at night. My husband got off work late again. And he was snacky. So was I…so I cut up this block of mozzerella cheese I had in the fridge and tried making fresh cheese sticks for us.

I really liked how they came out. I didnt bother trying to freeze before I fried… I’d bet they’d be even better if I freeze them an hour or two next time!

Here’s the recipe:

Mozzerella Sticks

• 16 oz block of mozzerella cheese, sliced into fat sticks
• 1 1/2 cups ap flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups plain bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 Tbs dried parsley
• 2 to 4 eggs and a little milk
• Enough oil to fry sticks in a small pot

Instructions:

Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic in a pie plate.

Beat eggs and milk in a small bowl.

Combine bread crumbs. Parsley and cheese in another pie plate.

Heat oil in pot. As oil comes gets hot, coat mozzarella in flour. Three at a time, dip sticks into egg wash and then coat in crumbs. Repeat with egg wash and crumbs, then set aside on a plate. You want the mozzarella sticks to be completely coated in breadcrumbs with no gaps. Fry 2 to 3 sticks at a time until golden, and remove to a clean plate with paper towels to drain.
