Mozzarella Sticks

I have been seriously disappointed by the quality and price! of frozen mozzarella sticks in the grocery store lately. So I decided to make my own and they were a huge success. If you are going for some deep frying (like a deep frying dinner party) these are a great addition. They can also be frozen for when you are ready to take them out in smaller batches for when you just want to indulge a little.



Mozzarella Sticks

2 eggs
1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs (I make my own, stored bought sucks in comparison)
2/3 cup flour
16 oz package of firm mozzarella (the kind you find as blocks in the deli section)
oil for frying

Beat eggs and water in bowl. Have a bowl of flour and a bowl of bread crumbs. Cut mozzarella into 2" long by 1/2" by 1/2" strips. Dredge in flour, then egg wash. You may want to coat in flour and egg again to fully prevent leakage. Then coat in bread crumbs and really squish them on. Make sure they are fully coated otherwise they will leak in the fryer. Heat the oil to 365-375 degrees F. Fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Drain and serve hot with marinara sauce.
