Ingredients

  • 16oz Block of Dry Mozzarella (or pasterized mozzarella), cut into into sticks
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of Heavy Cream
  • 2 1/4 cups of Bread Crumbs
  • 3/4 cup of Freshly Grated Pariggiano Reggiano
  • 2 tsp of Granulated Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning
  • ½ cup of All Purpose Flour
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable Oil

Preparation

    1) In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper, set aside.

    2) In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmiggiano, garlic, italian seasoning, salt and pepper, set aside.

    3) Place the flour on a plate, season with a little salt and pepper and stir together.

    4) Dredge each piece of mozzarella in the flour, dip in the egg mixture and coat them well in the bread crumb mixture.

    5) Repeat dipping each one in the egg and coating them in the bread crumb again so you have a double coated mozzarella stick.

    6) Place them on a tray and pop them in the freezer for a minimum of a few hours.

    7) Add the oil in a large dutch oven and put enough oil to come up half way up the sides of the pot. Bring the oil to temperature at 375 degrees.

    8) Place the mozzarella sticks (in batches) in the hot oil and fry them (turning them as needed) until deeply golden brown and crispy.

    9) Drain them on a paper towel lined plate and serve immediately!
