Panko Breaded Mozzarella Sticks
Sounds excellent, on my to cook list for sure. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Mozzarell String cheese, cut each piece in half
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- cooking oil, as needed, about an inch of oil
- tomato sauce or mayo, for dipping, OR make from a shortcut
Instructions
- Mix eggs and the milk in a shallow bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Arrange the bowls left to right as flour, egg mixture, panko. Lightly oil a baking that will fit in your freezer.
- For each piece of cheese: 1. roll in flour. 2. dip in the egg mixture. 3. roll in the panko. 4. dip in the egg mixture. 5. roll in the panko. 6. place on the oiled baking sheet. When all pieces are done, put in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a saucepan until hot but not smoking. Remove the cheese pieces from the freezer, using tongs, carefully place 2-3 pieces in the oil and cook until golden brown, this only takes 20-30 seconds, remove with tongs and place on paper towels to drain. If you overcook the pieces, you will have cheese oozing out, remove the pan from the heat and carefully remove any cheese that leaked out into the oil.
- Serve with tomato sauce or mayo.
Notes
I cannot price this as I do not know the prices for string cheese, I have seen it, just never bought any, yet. For now, since this is cheese I will say high cost until I make this and I can revise the pricing then.
Shortcut: Tomato Sauce.
