Breaded mozzarella (lactose free)

Ingredients

• 500 g Mozzarella, lactose free, cut into sticks
• 90 g Bread crumbs
• 70 g All purpose flour
• 1 pcs Egg, whole, whisked
• 300 ml Canola oil
• 1 1/2 tsp Salt, fresh ground
• 1/2 tsp Sweet red paprika powder

Method

1. Heat canola oil in a deep sauce pan.
2. Freeze mozzarella sticks until hard, for 30 minutes.
3. Place flour in one bowl and egg in a second bowl.
4. In a third bowl, add bread crumbs, paprika powder, and salt then whisk to combine.
5. Toss the cheese sticks in the flour to coat, then in the egg mixture, then in the crumb mixture.
6. Dip each coated cheese stick into the egg mixture one more time, and then back in the crumb mixture one more time.
7. Freeze sticks about 15 minute.
8. Add the cheese to the hot oil in batches to avoid decreasing the oil's temperature.
9. This will help the fast hardening of the breading and keeping the melted cheese inside.
10. Fry the sticks until golden and crispy.
11. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
