Good as an appetizer and also good for a main dish
Ingredients You'll Need
8 mozzarella string cheeses (cut in half if you want smaller sticks)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
6 tablespoons Italian-style bread crumbs (that’s ⅜ cup)
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
Oil for frying
Directions
Open the cheese strings and cut each in half.
Combine flour and cornstarch in a small bowl.plate. Combine the Italian and Panko bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish. In third small bowl, whisk eggs and olive oil until well combined.
Dip each cheese stick half into the egg mixture and then gently roll into the flour mixture.
Put back into the egg mixture and roll until coated. Finally, place into the bread crumbs pressing the crumbs on each piece of cheese to make sure it's coated all around so the cheese doesn't spill out.
Place in the freezer while the oil preheats. Preheat oil to 350°F. It should be hot enough that a few crumbs dropped into the oil will bubble.
n small batches, place breaded cheese sticks into the hot oil for about 2 minutes or just until browned. Do not overcook or the cheese will spill out.
