Ingredients

Directions

Cut cheese sticks into thirds. Place flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper. Put the egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs on a plate.

Add cheese pieces to flour and toss to coat. Dip in egg, and then roll in bread crumbs. Arrange breaded cheese in a single layer on a tray or baking sheet. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. Pour oil into large skillet to a depth of 1-inch, and heat over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, carefully drop cheese pieces in, a few at a time, and fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite chunky marinara sauce for dipping.

    Haven't read all the posts but when I have a little extra time on a day off I bread a big batch of these, lay in freezer on baking sheet an hour or two, then transfer in dinner size portions to zip lock or Food Saver bags. Take out about 15 minutes before frying and it eliminates ooze having them nice and cold/semi frozen -- outside is nice and crispy, inside nice and creamy. Big hit in a family of four boys :

    This was my first attempt at cheese sticks and this one recipe turned out great. I used mozzarella and pepper jack, and while both were good the pepper jack were great. I cooked the first batch at 375 and it was a bit too hot. Cheese oozed out and they stuck together. Second batch at 350 and they were perfect.

    The ingredients are right, but I made a couple of changes. First, I used an egg with some FF half and half to make it stretch farther. I also double-dipped...first the egg, rolled in crumbs (also added garlic powder, back in the egg, back in crumbs. To help with the oozing, place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer for at least an hour. Take out just before frying. I also use a combo of veggie and peanut oil because olive oil will burn the crust if it's too hot. The oil does need to be hot, and the cheese sticks will be much better if they fry quickly, approximately 30-45 seconds. My husband and kids love these!
