Crispy Mozzarella Sticks | Byron Talbott

What's up guys, today I'm going to show you how to make some crispy mozzarella sticks. So first up we're going to cut up our low moisture mozzarella into large rectangle sticks and try to keep them relatively the same size otherwise they will fry up unevenly. All right so once you're done cutting up all your mozzarella it's time to make all of our breading ingredients. So first up you're going to crack an egg into a small mixing bowl with some whole milk, a pinch of salt, some freshly cracked black pepper, and then just give this a really good whisk. Next you're going to add some flour, semolina or cornmeal, chili flakes, some dried chervil, some chili powder, and some freshly chopped rosemary to a small mixing bowl and then just give this a good mix as well. All right so once your breading station is ready to go you're going to drop the mozzarella sticks straight into the egg mixture and give it a good coating. Then you're going to dredge them into the seasoned flour then back into the egg mixture and finally give a healthy coating of dried breadcrumbs. Now as far as breadcrumbs go most grocery stores will have some sort of variety of dried breadcrumbs, panko being the most popular, but if not just stick some fresh bread in a food processor, throw it onto a baking tray and into a 250 degree oven for about 20 minutes and you'll have some beautiful fresh dried breadcrumbs. Now that all of your mozzarella sticks are breaded get a pot halfway filled with some canola oil and bring it up to about 325 degrees fahrenheit. Drop your first batch of mozzarella sticks in and fry for about two minutes just until they turn beautifully golden brown. Then pull them out and rest them on a few dry paper towels just to blot off any of that extra oil. And that's it guys, just whip up your favorite dipping sauce whether it be marinara, some sort of herb aioli, and enjoy some insanely delicious crispy mozzarella sticks. These mozzarella sticks look amazing. Crispy, crunchy, gooey mozzarella goodness going on here. I'm pretty excited about this I must say. Look at that. Oh my gosh. All those herbs, so good in that crust. It's just so good. It's like this gooey, amazing mozzarella melty texture. This would go great with so many different dipping sauces like marinara, that's a classic one, but lemon aioli, garlic aioli, loads of different other dipping sauces. You can even just do plain old ranch with this and it'd be pretty good. There's a success. Oh my gosh, it's so amazing. Look at this. Well hopefully you guys enjoyed this video.
