Ingredients
1 1/2 cups dry Italian breadcrumbs
1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages (16 ounces) mozzarella sticks
4 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1 cup Parmesan cheese and
salt.
Cut each mozzarella stick in half.
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and dip the cheese sticks into the eggs to
coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip into the bowl. Coat the
cheese in the breadcrumb mixture, tapping to adhere and coat completely.
Repeat dipping the cheese sticks in the egg and breadcrumb mixture to
coat a second time. Place cheese sticks on a baking sheet, cover, and
freeze until frozen, about 2 hours.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the
cheese until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer fried cheese
to plates. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve.
ENJOY
