Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut cheese into 2 1/2" sticks. Place 2 tbsp milk in a shallow bowl. Dip sticks in milk; coat with flour. Beat egg and remaining 1 tsp milk together in a small bowl. Dip floured cheese sticks in egg mixture; roll in bread crumbs. Refrigerate at least 15 mins.

2. Heat 2-3" oil to 375F in deep-fryer or deep saucepan. Fry several mozzarella sticks at a time in hot oil for 45-60 seconds, when sticks float to the top. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with pizza sauce.
