Deep Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the cheese into 8 3 1/2/x 1/2x1/2" sticks.
• Put flour into shallow dish and dredge the mozzarella sticks lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.
• One by one, dip in the beaten egg, coating completely, and then roll in bread crumbs to coat.
• Put the sticks on a plate and freeze for 15 minutes.
• Heat a deep fryer or heavy pot to 365 in 3 inches of oil.
• Fry the mozzarella sticks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 minute.
• Drain on paper towels and serve with hot marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Mix together the eggs and water, set aside.
• combine the Italian bread crumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano and dried parsley.
• salt and pepper to taste.
• in a separate container, mix flour and cornstarch.
• cut mozzarella cheese into any desired shape, rectangle strips are traditional.
• One at a time, dip mozarella slices into the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, then the flour.
• fry sticks at 375 F until golden brown and serve with desired dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Cut the mozzarella into approximately 2-1/2-by-1/2-inch sticks (you should have about 16 sticks, depending on the shape of your mozzarella).
• Put the flour in a small bowl. Beat the milk with the eggs in another bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a third wide, shallow bowl.
• Working one at a time, coat a mozzarella stick in flour and shake off the excess. Dip the stick in egg, letting the excess drip off, then add it to the breadcrumbs and roll it to coat. Dip the stick in the egg one more time, again letting the excess drip off, and roll it in a final coat of breadcrumbs. You can pat the mozzarella stick gently between your hands to smooth out the coating. Transfer the coated mozzarella stick to a platter. Repeat with the remaining mozzarella sticks. Refrigerate the mozzarella sticks until cold, about 15 minutes.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Have a large brown paper bag ready for the fried sticks (they will stick to paper towels). Add half of the mozzarella sticks and fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute total. Transfer to the paper bag to drain. Return the oil to 350 degrees F (this is important, as the cheese will seep out if it is not hot enough) and fry the remaining mozzarella sticks.
• Serve hot with Homemade Pizza Sauce on the side.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, with the saucepan loosely covered in foil to avoid splattering and stirring occasionally, until fairly thick, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your tomatoes. Remove the basil.

Steps:

• Cut the mozzarella into 'chips'. Tip the flour into a bowl and season well. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl and tip the breadcrumbs, paprika and oregano into a third. Coat the mozzarella sticks in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hrs.
• Heat enough oil to come 2-3cm up the side of a saucepan. When hot, drop in a test chip - it should sizzle straight away and brown within a minute or two. The secret is to cook them long enough to crisp up the outside without letting the mozzarella ooze out - it may take you a few practice chips to get it right. Cook the chips in batches and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot with your favourite dip.

Steps:

• Cut mozzarella cheese into sticks (approximately 3*1/2*1/2-inches).
• Place flour in one bowl, the egg in another bowl and the bread crumbs and oregano in another bowl.
• Dredge each piece of cheese into flour to coat.
• Dip floured cheese stick into egg, then dredge in bread crumb mixture.
• Place on a plate in a single layer.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil or shortening, 1/2-inch deep to 350°F.
• Fry mozzarella sticks a few pieces at a time until browned on all sides (about 3 minutes).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges or marinara sauce for dipping.
• ~NOTE~ Preparation time includes 1 hour refrigeration time.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the eggs and water.
• Mix the bread crumbs and garlic salt in a medium bowl. In a medium bowl, blend the flour and cornstarch.
• In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• One at a time, coat each mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs and finally into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine egg and water.
• In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic salt, oregano and basil.
• In a third bowl, combine flour and cornstarch.
• In a large heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
• Moisten each mozzarella stick half in the egg mixture, then dip each one in the bread crumbs and finally the flour mixture.
• Repeat this 3-step process.
• By now your fingers are going to be a total mess; just hang in there, it's sooooo worth it!
• Carefully place breaded mozzarella sticks in the hot oil; don't overcrowd (only about 4 at a time).
• Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds.
• Remove from oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Beat egg in a small bowl. Place flour in a separate small bowl. Toss bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a another separate bowl.
• Gently press each cheese stick into flour to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into egg, then press into bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded cheese sticks onto a baking sheet while breading the rest; do not stack. Coat each cheese stick with olive oil; cover baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, about 4 minutes.
