All the ingredients!
Coat the cheese in the panko crumb mixture. After the cheese is coated in the mixture, you freeze 'em for 20-30 minutes to keep it all together once you fry them.
Fry 'em up and you end up with this final product! Look pretty yummy, don't they?! Well, despite the poor quality photo. ;)
INGREDIENTS
- 16 pieces string cheese, unwrapped and cut in half to make 32 pieces (I obviously made way less.)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- Canola oil for frying
- Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Place flour in small bowl.
- In separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
- In another separate bowl, combine panko bread crumbs and dried parsley flakes.
- To assemble, one by one, roll cheese stick in flour, then dunk in the egg/milk mixture, then place in panko bread crumbs. Use your hands to sweet crumbs all over the cheese. Gently remove and place on a plate or cookie sheet. Repeat until all sticks are coated.
- Place tray in freezer for 20-30 minutes to flash freeze.
- Heat 1 and 1/2 inches of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add mozzarella sticks 8 at a time. Watch closely and turn over to evenly brown, cooking less than 2 minutes. Do not allow cheese to bubble and leak. (This is a bit of a science, so it's better to have lower heat than heat that's too high; otherwise the cheese will melt out before they're ready.)
- Remove to a paper-towel lined plate and serve with warm marinara sauce. (I tried mine with ranch dressing, and that was actually quite tasty!)

This looks AMAZING and I want some!! I might have to try this sometime since CA doesn't have any sort of cheese curd or fried cheese
Thanks Wendy! They WERE amazing! And so simple. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot. Could easily cure your desire for fried cheese! :)
