Mozzarella Sticks

Who does not like mozzarella sticks? I mean, seriously? Oozy cheesy goodness, inside a crunchy little shell. I think my stomach just flipped. Now, my next question is, who likes to pay the price for mozzarella sticks? C'mon, why in the world are they so expensive? Most restaurants charge anywhere from $5-$7 for 4-6 small mozzarella sticks. I mean, they're good, but they're not THAT good.

Well, good news. You don't have to spend a ton of money. Make them yourself!! They are ridiculously easy to make. Try it!

What you'll need:
Pack of string cheese
1 Egg
Splash of milk
Bread crumbs (I prefer Italian)
Oil for frying
Marinara sauce for dipping.

What you need to do:

Heat oil to 350.
Beat and egg an with a splash of milk added to it.
Pour some bread crumbs in a bowl or on a plate.

I like to cut the cheese sticks in half and make mini sticks, but you can use the stick just like it is, too.
Dip the cheese stick in the egg wash, coat in bread crumbs, stick back in egg wash, and coat in bread crumbs again. (If you find you are running out of egg wash, just get another egg and another splash of milk.) Fry cheese sticks for about a minute, or until golden brown. Place on a plate lined in paper towel to drain. Dip in marinara sauce, and enjoy.

See, I told you it was easy. And you end up with 12 large mozzarella sticks (or 24 small if you cut in half) for less than you would have paid in the restaurant for 6 small ones.
