Fried Mozzarella Sticks

For this recipe, you will need:

1 pkg 12 ct string cheese

1 1/2 c italian bread crumbs

4 eggs

1 tsp paprika

1/4 c flour

1 tsp thyme leaves

2 tbsp milk

Cut all the string cheese in half.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, paprika and thyme leaves.

In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined.

Coat the cheese sticks with the flour mixture, then coat with the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumbs.

Coat again for round two with the eggs and bread crumbs.

Put the coated sticks in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Fry a few cheese sticks at a time to keep from bringing the temperature of the oil down.

Fry each side of the stick for 1 minute, until golden brown on each side.

Eat them right away with a side of marinara.
