Mozzarella Sticks

Mozzarella sticks where to begin... These are a favorite of ours, whenever we go out it is most likely ordered, and who doesn't like mozzarella sticks. With our new deep fryer it is so easy to make mozzarella sticks. We could not be happier! So here is the recipe:
 Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks by Nannci Renn

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1 quart oil for deep frying
• 1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese sticks

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix the eggs and water.
2. Mix the bread crumbs and garlic salt in a medium bowl. In a medium bowl, blend the flour and cornstarch.
3. In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
4. One at a time, coat each mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs and finally into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

 Note: 1. How we coated: egg, flour, egg, flour, bread crumbs 2. If you freeze the mozzarella we would recommend freezing for only 1 hour or less. If you follow our coating and make sure it gets coated you will have minimally or if any cheese leakage. Freezing the mozzarella doesn't let the cheese get gooey, but it's up to your personal preference. 3. We recommend using latex gloves to cover the hand that will be doing the coating. It makes for an easy clean up on your hand. 4. We just buy sticks of mozzarella cheese, but feel free to use the block.
* We got our recommendations from personal experience and some from the comments made on the website from where we got the recipe. Feel free to read the comments for yourself.

These are better than any kind you will ever get at a restaurant. PLUS it's not as greasy as the ones you get at restaurants. AND they are so easy to make. 

Angelica personally dips her 'mozz' sticks in prego traditional sauce. 

Happy Cooking!
