Directions
Preheat canola oil (2 quarts) in a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F. While the oil is heating, prepare a 3-tier breading station by placing egg wash (2), all purpose flour (1 cup), and breadcrumbs (1 cup) into 3 separate containers.
Dredge the cheese sticks in flour so that they are completely coated. Shake off the excess flour from the cheese sticks before rolling in the egg wash (2) till completely coated. Finally, add the cheese sticks to the breadcrumbs (1 cup) and fully coat so that there are no holes for the cheese to melt through.
Gently lower cheese sticks into the hot oil (2 quarts) and fry until golden brown. Transfer the fried cheese sticks to a wire rack-lined baking tray and season with salt.
