Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Recipe

Materials Needed:

2 pairs of tongs (one to keep dry, the other for wet preparation)
2 large zip top freezer bags
1 bowl
1 cookie sheet lined with waxed paper

Ingredients:

8 oz. block mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. gluten free all purpose flour
2 tsp ground sage
2 eggs
2 Tbs. milk
1 c. gluten free corn-flake crumbs
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbs. dried oregano leaves
1 Tbs. dried basil leaves

Prepping Directions:

Slice mozzarella into 1/2 inch sticks.
Put gluten free all purpose flour and ground sage into one zip top bag. Shake to combine.
Put gluten free corn-flake crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano and basil into second zip top bag. Shake to combine.
Beat eggs and milk in bowl.
Place sliced mozzarella into the zip top bag containing flour.
Seal bag with the air still inside and shake until lightly coated with flour.
Using dry tongs, remove several sticks from bag, gently shaking off excess flour.
Dip sticks in egg mixture with wet tongs until fully coated.
Move sticks from egg mixture to the zip top bag containing gluten free corn-flake crumbs and shake to coat.
Using dry tongs, remove mozzarella from bag and gently shake to remove excess breading.
Place Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
Repeat steps 7-11, coating mozzarella sticks in batches of 3-4 at a time, until all are coated. Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks can be stacked in layers with waxed paper in between each layer.
Place cookie sheet in freezer and allow Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks to freeze. (About four hours to overnight)
Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. (Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks will stay fresh in freezer for up to 4 months)

Cooking Directions:

Gluten Free Mozzarella Cheese Sticks can be fried right after breading or straight from freezer. Do not thaw before cooking.
Fry in 350-400 degree oil for one to two minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Note: Do not over cook cheese sticks. This will result in the loss of filling!
