“Creamozzagouda” sticks

Ingredients

2 cups Shredded Mozzarella

4 oz shredded smoked gouda

4 oz cream cheese

2 cup flour

3 eggs

3 cups Italian panko breadcrumbs

Oil for deep frying

Sauce

I used Prego Pizzeria style pizza sauce

Instructions

• In a bowl combine mozzarella, smoked gouda and cream cheese. Knead the mixture together as if you were kneading a ball of dough
• Once it has come together, portion into small balls and roll into cylindrical shapes
• Dredge lightly in some flour, and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour
• Heat oil to 375 degrees
• Set up breading station, Beat eggs in a bowl, place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and flour in another shallow dish
• Remove cheese from the freezer and dip into the egg, then flour, then egg again and lastly the breadcrumbs
• After they are breaded and the oil it hot fry in batches of 5 or 6
• They take approximately 1 to 2 minutes to be done
• Serve immediately while hot the sauce on the side.

Greedy tips:

• Be sure to double bread with flour and egg before the panko it gives it a crunchier and thicker outer coating
• Make sure to freeze the cheese solid before frying
• They cook very quickly, once the breading turns golden brown it’s ready
• If you fry too long the cheese will begin to escape and you will end up with hollow mozzarella sticks
