MomsMenu.com Recipe Finder Fried Cheese Sticks

1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, part skim milk
1/4 cup flour
2 medium eggs, beaten
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Cut cheese into 2-1/2" × 1/2" sticks. Dust with flour. Dip in beaten egg and into crumbs. Press crumbs around cheese and dip again in egg and crumbs to make a firm coating. Refrigerate until time to serve. Deep fry 3 or 4 at a time, turning once, until desired brownness is reached.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all are cooked.

Contributor's note: Cheese sticks may be baked at 450 degrees F for 12 - 15 minutes, to avoid
deep frying. Sticks may not retain shape, and will be dryer as a finished product.
