Yes, I made some all-time classic snacks to share today, mozzarella sticks, baby!

So I feel pretty safe in declaring that these are well worth your time in trying them. There really is no comparing these to the frozen variety. I’m telling you, using the fresh and real mozzarella makes so much difference and then you can also have complete control over the flavor you want to coat them in. I like using Italian seasoning or sometimes I just use plain breadcrumbs.

Yes, a request for the recipe, awesome:

RECIPE

Yield: 4 - 6

Ingredients

8 ounces mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
3/4 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs (or you can use chip or cracker crumbs, it's the best!)
salt and pepper to taste

Optional:
pizza sauce or marinara sauce for serving

Instructions

Cut the cheese into sticks that are about 1/2 inch thick. Whisk together the egg and milk in a small shallow bowl and dip the sticks first into the egg mixture, then the flour, then the egg mixture, and then into the breadcrumbs and turn to coat all sides. Place them all on a plate or tray in the fridge to chill a little while you heat the oil.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat (alternatively you can use a deep fryer.) Fry a few sticks at a time for 1 - 2 minutes per side, watching carefully if they start to melt into the oil. then remove to paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with warm marinara sauce if desired.

Hands down one of my favorite snacks ever. The title alone gets an up vote and your presentation is always spot on. I would also do Pepper Jack Cheese Sticks too :) For that added spice

Those look so good. Maybe with a rootbeer and good movie. Thanks for making them, and sharing and making me hungry.

Thanks so much for commenting. Ahh root beer, we don't have that here in Chili, but maybe I could figure out how to make it myself.

I know it can be done, somehow, and if anyone could do it, my three cents would be on you. So creative in the food arts. And there are few things better with pizza, than rootbeer. I assume you do have pizza there? Think that is everywhere, maybe.

No, pizza isn't everywhere just yet, however it is definitively growing. Thanks so much for you kind compliment.

Thanks for commenting @immarojas. Mozzarella just holds up the heat. Other cheeses tend to not maintain the form. I just posted the recipe, I hope you enjoy
