Directions Home-Fried Cheese Sticks
Directions
-
Remove string cheese sticks from plastic wrappings and cut the strings in half crosswise.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs in a bowl and bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl.
Dip cheese stick halves into egg and roll in bread crumbs to completely coat the sticks, place breaded cheese sticks onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow cheese sticks to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to set, and repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs to form a thick coating. Freeze breaded cheese sticks for at least 2 hours.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Deep fry cheese sticks, a few at a time, until the coating is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sticks drain on paper towels, cool slightly and serve warm.
