Viral Fried Pickle Mozzarella Sticks

These are old news by now, but they became a favorite in our household. My son loves pickles and has been begging to make these again. This was his homeschool cooking project for the week. :) You'll have to plan this one out because the cheese needs to soak in that pickle juice at least overnight, but the longer the better!

The Viral Pickle Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients:
pickle juice
12 cheese sticks
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1 cup panko
1 tablespoon dried dill
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt to taste
oil, for deep fryer
Marinara for dipping, if desired

Put the cheese sticks in the jar of pickle juice. Refrigerate at least overnight.

You'll need 3 bowls. In one, bowl beat the eggs and milk together. In another bowl, add only flour. In your last bowl, add the breadcrumbs, panko, dill and garlic powder.

Set up your assembly line.
The cheese sticks will come out of pickle juice and go in the plain flour first.
Next, roll them in the egg mixture.
Lastly, roll in the breadcrumbs.
We repeated this process twice.
When my flour and breadcrumbs were getting low, I mixed the two together to complete that last coating.
Freeze for 20 minutes. While your cheese sticks are in the freezer, you can preheat the oil in your deep dryer. Fry in small batches until golden brown.
Serve with marinara. ENJOY!
