- .SK 1
- Cut the mozzarella into sticks a bit more than about
- .AB "\(14 in" "5 mm"
- thick, and about
- .AB "1\(12 in" "4 cm"
- long. Coat the sticks with flour, shaking off excess.
- .SK 2
- Combine the bread crumbs and seasonings in a flat dish. Beat the
- eggs and place in a separate bowl.
- .SK 3
- Coat the sticks by dipping them in the egg and then in the bread
- crumbs. The coating on the first stick should be fairly dry when
- you finish the last stick. Repeat with another dip in the egg and
- then in the bread crumbs.
- .SK 4
- Deep-fry the coated sticks in oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until the
- coating is cooked. Fry in batches, keeping the finished ones warm in
- the oven.
- .SK 5
- Serve with chilled marinara sauce or salsa.
- .NX
- Use your imagination when choosing spices. The spices listed here are just a
- suggestion.
- .PP
- Be careful when
- frying, as some sticks split open when they are done,
- leaving lots of cheese in your frying oil. You may need
- more egg or bread crumbs, depending on how many sticks you have and
- how thick you coat them.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- moderate (frying skill required).
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes preparation, 5 minutes cooking.
