Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gather three medium bowls. In the first add the flour and set aside. To the second add the egg and water and beat well. Set aside.
  • To the third add the bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  • Slice the cheese in to 4" by 1/2" slices. Working with one or two at a time, place them first into the flour, then the egg then the breadcrumbs pressing firmly.
  • Transfer the breaded sticks to a cookie sheet and freeze 2 1/2 hours or overnight if desired.
  • When ready to fry, heat the coconut oil in a 9" heavy skillet over medium high heat until it reaches 375 degrees. Add one or two cheesesticks at a time. They will fry fast so keep an eye on them.
  • Fry 2 minutes on each side then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce.
