Whip up crispy Italian cheese sticks for a festival-worthy snack. Quick, budget-friendly, and perfect with any dip.
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
Instructions:
  • Unwrap the string cheese sticks and slice each one in half crosswise.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs in one bowl and bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
  • Dip cheese stick halves into egg, coat with bread crumbs, and place on baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs for a thick coating. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry cheese sticks in small batches until golden and crispy, and cheese is melty, for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, cool briefly, and serve warm.
