Cornflake Mozzarella Sticks Recipes

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Place cornstarch in a large Ziploc bag. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow dish or bowl. Combine cornmeal, pepper, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon oregano in a separate shallow dish or bowl. Place cheese sticks in cornstarch, 5 at a time, shaking to coat. Remove from bag; tap off excess cornstarch. Dip cheese sticks in egg mixture, then dredge in cornmeal mixture, pressing to adhere. Place coated cheese sticks in a single layer on prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot; heat over high to 375°F to 400°F. Fry cheese sticks, in batches, in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and a pinch each of Parmesan and oregano. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.

MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• To prepare your mozzarella sticks , start with the spicy sauce: Peel and chop the onion 1 , then peel and chop the garlic and fresh chili pepper 2 . Add to a saucepan in which you have just heated a little oil 3 .
• Add the sugar 4 and canned tomatoes 5 . Season with salt 6 .
• Cover with a lid 7 and cook for about 15 minutes. Once it's cooked for long enough, the sauce will thicken. Pour in the cream 8 and cook for a few moments, stirring from time to time. Then turn off the heat and blitz everything with an immersion blender 9 .
• Leave to cool 10 . In the meantime, cut the mozzarella into rectangular sticks weighing 1 oz (20 g) each 11 ; you should end up with 12 with the quantities in the recipe. Prepare 3 small bowls: Place the flour in one bowl, the lightly beaten eggs in another, and the breadcrumbs and cornflakes 12 in the last one.
• Lightly salt the eggs 13 . Dip each stick in the flour 14 , then coat completely in the egg 15 .
• Lastly, coat the sticks with the breadcrumb and cornflake mixture (16-17). Repeat these steps, dipping the mozzarella first into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs and cornflakes 18 to get a double coating.
• Now you're ready to fry in hot oil at 340°F (170°C) for a couple of minutes. Fry one or two sticks at a time so the oil temperature doesn't go down too much 19 . Once the sticks are golden brown, drain with a slotted spoon 20 and place on a sheet of absorbent paper to get rid of any excess oil. Serve the mozzarella sticks with the spicy sauce 21 .

• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, then set aside. Place the bread crumbs into a plastic bag, and set aside.
• Separate and place an egg roll wrapper onto your work surface with one of the tips pointed towards you. Moisten the two far edges of the wrapper with water. Place a string cheese stick onto the corner nearest you, and roll it in 1/3 of the way, fold over the right and left corners, then continue rolling to the end, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining string cheese sticks and egg roll wrappers.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

LIGHT AND BAKED MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat a toaster oven on broil setting, or set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a small baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Insert toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to mid-way point. Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in a separate small bowl.
• Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press into bread crumbs. Repeat dipping in egg and breadcrumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on prepared baking sheet and spray with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.
• Broil in preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.

CRISPY MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Place the Parmesan cheese into a shallow dish.
• Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 6 (5 x 3-inch) rectangles. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 12 in all.
• Place 1 cheese stick on a long edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll up the pastry around the cheese and press the seams and pinch the ends to seal. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg mixture. Dip the tops into the Parmesan cheese. Place the rolls, seam-side down, onto a baking sheet. Prick the tops of the rolls with a fork.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown. Remove the sticks from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Heat the sauce in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot and bubbling, stirring occasionally. Serve the sauce with the sticks for dipping.
