Ingredients

• One 16 ounce block of Mozzerella Cheese chopped into 16 sticks
• 3 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 tablespoon dried Oregano Leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried Basil Leaves
• 2 Eggs
• 1/3 cup Flour
• Enough Canola or Vegetable Oil to cover the bottom of your pan by several inches
• Marinara Sauce for dipping

Instructions

• Make a breading station for your cheese sticks. First is a plate with flour. Second is a bowl with the two lightly beaten eggs, plus a splash of water. The third station is a mix of panko and herbs. Have a baking sheet ready to place the breaded sticks on when complete.
• Take each cheese stick and coat in with flour.
• Dust off any excess, then bathe it in the egg mixture.
• Finally, roll, press and coat it all over with the breadcrumbs.
• Freeze cheese for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The cheese must be cold enough to resist melting in the hot oil, so patience really does pay.
• Heat several inches of oil over a medium high flame. Place the handle of a wooden spoon to test temperature. Once bubbles form around it, the oil is hot enough.
• Place the sticks in the oil without overcrowding. I do two batches. Keep a careful watch, turning them when one side browns. It takes about 3 minutes total.
• Once golden brown, place them on a cooling rack over a baking sheet so excess oil can drip away. You can lightly dust them with sea salt while hot if you like.
• Serve right away with marinara for a dipping sauce.
• Enjoy.
