Homemade Mozzarella Cheese Sticks














3 Sticks of String Cheese (Aldi's has an amazing brand)
1 beaten egg
1 cup of Italian Bread Crumbs
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 cup of oil
Optional: Spaghetti Sauce for Marinara
*This recipe is easily doubled for more

Cut string cheeses in 1/2 horizontally. Put them in the freezer for over an hour (this is so they don't melt when you fry them). Roll frozen cheeses in egg. Mix the Italian bread crumbs with the garlic powder in a separate bowl and roll egged cheese in this bowl. Repeat these two steps two or three more times until the stick of cheese is completely breaded. Put oil in a frying pan and heat up until a drop of water will sizzle, then put it on medium. Fry and occasionally rotate the breaded cheese until golden brown (takes about 1-2 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel covered plate and pat off grease. Enjoy :-)
