Remember when we were able to order mozzarella cheese sticks at restaurants? This gluten free version is just like what we remember! Crispy on the outside, melty gooey cheese on the inside. Add some pizza sauce for dipping and another memory becomes a reality.
¼cup (35 g)gluten free flour blend (Kim's gluten free flour blend is what I use)
1largeegg, beaten
½cup (about 50 g)seasoned breadcrumbs
oil for frying, such as canola, vegetable, or peanut oil
pizza sauce for dipping (I use my Copycat Pizza Hut Pizza Sauce)
Instructions
Cut mozzarella sticks (string cheese) in half.
Set up dredging station. Dredge mozzarella in flour to coat, followed by beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere breadcrumbs. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with each cheese stick.
Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least one hour.
Heat oil in Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°.
Carefully lower cheese sticks into hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined baking sheet. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
