Step by step preparation of cheese sticks at home:
1. Before deep-fried cheese sticks, process the cheese. First, we cut it into pieces 7 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. Then we put it in cool water for 15 minutes. This will slightly saturate the surface of each bite, which will help to bond the breading to the cheese better.
2. Sift the flour into a separate plate with high walls and roll each piece in it.
3. Beat eggs in a plate with a whisk. We add herbs to enhance the taste and bring to homogeneity. Dip the cheese sticks into the egg mixture.
4. Then roll in breadcrumbs to completely cover the surface. The recipe for cheese sticks can be supplemented step by step by re-rolling in an egg and breadcrumbs. Double breading will make the crust thicker and slow down the cheese melting process a little.
5. Pour a lot of vegetable oil into a frying pan or deep fryer. Insufficient oil can result in uneven frying. We heat it up to about 190 degrees. We dip the blanks and fry until a fried crust appears on all sides. We take out with a slotted spoon and leave on a paper towel. This will allow excess fat to drain off.
6. Delicious homemade cheese sticks are ready! We put them on a large platter. Decorate with herbs. Of course, the dish is self-sufficient and can be served unaccompanied. But few would skip a creamy, mustard, or tomato sauce to bring out the flavor of the crispy crust and melted middle even better.
