Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 package of string cheese
– 1 package of mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
– 1 large egg, beaten
– Cooking oil, for frying
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheese: Unwrap the string cheese and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the shredded mozzarella cheese in a separate bowl.
2. Coating Station: Set up three bowls in a row. In the first bowl, place the beaten egg. In the second bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the Cheese: Take one piece of string cheese and dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, coat it in the flour, pressing to remove any excess. Finally, dip the coated cheese into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure it is evenly covered.
4. Repeat: Repeat the coating process for all the cheese pieces. Place the coated cheese on a plate lined with parchment paper.
5. Frying: In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated cheese pieces into the oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Season: Once the mozzarella sticks are done frying, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Serve the mozzarella sticks with string cheese hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or pizza sauce.
