Fried Cheese Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup of plain flour.
02 -
2 eggs, large.
03 -
A pinch of cayenne, optional.
04 -
Vegetable oil for frying.
05 -
1 cup of Italian-style bread crumbs.
06 -
1/4 cup milk.
07 -
10 mozzarella cheese sticks.
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop up your mozzarella sticks into small chunks.
02 -
In one dish, whisk the eggs and milk together. Use a separate dish for breadcrumbs and another for flour.
03 -
Dip each piece into flour first, then egg mix, and finally cover with breadcrumbs. Put them on a plate.
04 -
Fill your skillet with oil about 2 inches deep. Heat it up to 350°F. Check readiness by placing a wooden spoon handle in; it's ready if bubbles form.
05 -
Fry 5-7 cheese bites at a time for around 30 seconds. Let them turn golden. Lay them on paper towels afterward.
06 -
Serve right away with marinara if you'd like while they're still hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Serve quickly so the cheese stays gooey.
02 -
Cook in smaller groups to avoid them sticking together.
