• 113g (¼ pound) mozzarella cheese, drained
• 118 ml (½ cup) seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 large egg

Mise en place

• Preheat deep fat fryer to 175°C (350°F)

Method

1. Preheat deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice mozzarella into sticks 1-3 cm in diameter.
3. In a small bowl, whisk egg.
4. Fill another small bowl with bread crumbs.
5. Dip 3-4 sticks at a time into the egg.
6. Shake excess egg off sticks and place them in the bread crumbs.
7. Shake bowl of bread crumbs, evenly coating all sticks. Add more bread crumbs as needed.
8. Place coated sticks to the side and repeat for remaining sticks.
9. After all sticks have been coated, repeat the egg-dip and crumb-coat for each once more.

13. Dump onto paper towel and pat off excess oil gently.
