Home-Fried Cheese Sticks Recipe

Ingredients

24 (1 ounce) sticks string cheese

5 eggs

beaten

3 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

or as needed

Chef John's Chicken a la King

Appetizer and Snack

Directions

Step 1

Remove string cheese sticks from plastic wrappings and cut the strings in half crosswise.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs in a bowl and bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 5

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.
