How To
Flamin Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks
- Cut mozzarella into 3x½” pieces.
- Place flour in a shallow dish for dredging, then whisk the eggs and milk together in another dish. Mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, parsley, and thyme in third dish.
- Working with one piece of mozzarella at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Repeat steps for a second coating. Transfer to a parchment covered baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining mozzarella. Transfer tray with mozzarella sticks to freezer and freeze at least 1 hour.
- Fit a large pot with a neutral fry oil, enough to cover up the mozzarella (about 2 inches). Heat over medium-high until a heat thermometer registers 350°.
- Working in small batches, fry mozzarella, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt while still hot. Serve with Marinara Sauce.
