Preparation

Step 1

Upwrap the string cheese and cut the string cheese in half.

You'll need 3 bowls for this.

In the first bowl : Flour

In the second bowl: Whisk the eggs with the milk.

In the third bowl: Combine the panko, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic. Stir.

Next, one at a time, drop the cheese in the flour, and tap off the excess.

Next, dip the cheese in the egg mixture, make sure it's covered and tap off the excess.

After that, roll the cheese in the panko crumb mixture.

Gently remove and place on a baking sheet.

Place the sheet in a freezer for 30 minutes to quickly freeze the cheese before trying to fry it.

After the cheese has been in the freezer for about 30 minutes it's ready to fry.

I used a deepfryer for these. Pre-heat the deep fryer to 350F. Drop in a few cheese sticks and let them fry for about 1 minute until light brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
