Fried Cheese Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 10 mozzarella string cheese sticks.
02 - 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs.
03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour.
04 - 2 large eggs.
05 - 1/4 cup milk.
06 - Cayenne pepper to taste (optional).
07 - Vegetable oil for frying.

# Instructions:

01 - Cut each string cheese stick into bite-sized chunks.
02 - Put flour in one bowl, whisked eggs and milk in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Line them up in that order.
03 - Take each cheese piece and dip in flour, then egg mix, then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on a plate.
04 - Pour 2 inches of oil in a skillet and heat to 350°F. Test with wooden spoon - if bubbles form, it's ready.
05 - Cook 5-7 pieces for 30 seconds until golden. Keep them separate. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towels.
06 - Enjoy hot with marinara sauce or by themselves.

# Notes:

01 - Must serve immediately while cheese is melty.
02 - Work in small batches to prevent sticking.
