Cheese Sticks

Dipping Sauces

Method

Prepare the Cheese Sticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds to reduce heat. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Cheese

    Take a stick of mozzarella cheese and place a half jalapeño pepper over it. Wrap the cheese stick with the jalapeño tightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and place the bread crumbs mixed with salt and black pepper in the third bowl.

  4. 4

    Bread the Cheese Sticks

    Coat each jalapeño-wrapped cheese stick in flour, then dip it into the whisked eggs, and finally roll it in the bread crumbs until fully coated.

Fry the Cheese Sticks

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fry the Cheese Sticks

    Carefully place the breaded cheese sticks in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 7

    Prepare the Dipping Sauces

    In small bowls, pour the ranch dressing and marinara sauce.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Arrange the fried jalapeño cheese sticks on a platter and serve hot with ranch and marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
