Ingredients
° A 16-ounce block of whole milk mozzarella cheese
° 2 large eggs
° 2/3 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
° salt
° Ground black pepper
Preparation
Cut the cheese block into 1/2 inch sticks. I had about 12.
Place the eggs in a bowl with 1/8 teaspoon of salt and black pepper and mix. Then put the breadcrumbs in another bowl and season with 1/3 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Take every piece of cheese & dip it in the egg, letting surplus run down.
Then cover with breadcrumbs, shake off the excess, and place on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the cheese fingers.
Once each rusk is baked, take each of the eggs and breadcrumbs again for a second layer. Mozzarella sticks are placed in an airtight container and freeze for two hours.
Heat the skillet to 365 degrees F, and fry for 30-60 seconds, until golden brown. Serve with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy !
