Mozzarella Sticks

Mozzarella Sticks

1 package string cheese/cheese sticks (Usually they come with at least 10, so that would make 20 cheese sticks. You can also just cut Mozzarella cheese into strips, if you don't have string cheese)
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp water
Italian seasoned bread crumbs (I also added a little extra Italian seasoning to the mixture)
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp garlic salt


Unwrap all the string cheese pieces. Cut each one in half.
In one bowl, combine flour and cornstarch.  In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the water. One more bowl with the bread crumbs, cayenne and garlic. First, dredge the cheese sticks in the flour mixture, then coat with the egg, then roll in bread crumb mixture. Place on wax paper. Continue until all the cheese sticks have been coated.
I used my deep fryer set at 375 degrees and fried them for 25-30 seconds. If you fry them for too long, the cheese will melt and it will be a gooey mess. You can probably fry them on the stove top in hot oil if you don't have a fryer. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce or whatever dipping sauce you prefer!
