Ingredients :
- 1 1/2 cups Italian-style dried breadcrumbs
- 1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 16-ounce packages mozzarella cheese sticks
- 4 large eggs, beaten to blend
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Directions :
- In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1 cup of Parmesan and salt.
- Cut each mozzarella stick in half.
- Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and dip the cheese sticks into the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
- Coat the cheese in the bread crumb mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Repeat dipping the cheese sticks in the egg and bread crumb mixture to coat a second time.
- Place the cheese sticks on a baking sheet, cover and freeze until frozen, about 2 hours.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the cheese until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the fried cheese to plates. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
