Mozzarella Sticks

Mozzarella Sticks are one of my husbands favorite treats at restaurants.  We love to try different kinds and they tend to be one of those things that we both enjoy.  I had some cheese sticks that we hadn't eaten and I decided that I would make some Mozzarella Cheese Sticks at home for a nice treat with dinner.

First, I coated the cheese in flour to better help the egg mixture to stick to it.

Dip flour coated cheese in egg mixed with water until a good consistency.

Cover in breadcrumbs to totally coat.

Roll around and press into the breadcrumbs.

Coat in the egg mixture again.

Coat with second helping of breadcrumbs to make sure fully coated.

Add to hot oil and cook until golden brown.

They come out nice and crispy!! Make sure to let them lay on a paper towel to help them not be greasy.

They are amazing with a little dipping sauce!  Tasted just like the restaurant ones and we enjoyed them with our meal.

It was hard to get a picture of the inside with the melty cheese but it was stretchy and amazingly creamy with the crispy exterior.

We had a whole plate but they were quickly eaten and I realized that I needed to take another picture but I only had one left.  I love when I can make restaurant favorites at home with little or no cost.  It uses spaghetti or pizza sauce that I was already making, breadcrumbs that I made from stale bread and cheese that we had extra on hand.  I was sad that we used up all the cheese and I am going to try it again with a block of cheese instead of string cheese and see what the difference are going to be.

I hope that you try these too! I will totally make these again and again and again!  I want them tonight after looking at these tasty pictures.
