Ingredients

- 1/2 cup (75 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (65 g) Italian breadcrumbs (see note)
- 1 egg
- 9 oz (250 g) mozzarella, cut into ½ x 3-inch (1 x 7.5 cm) sticks
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Preparation

- In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the cheese sticks in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly so they will adhere to the cheese sticks. Place on a plate and freeze for 30 minutes for easier handling during cooking, if desired.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the cheese sticks in the oil. Serve hot or warm as a starter.

Note from Ricardo

If you don’t have breadcrumbs, crumble 20 saltine crackers in a blender or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You will get about ½ cup (125 ml) of breadcrumbs. Season with 1 tsp dried basil, to taste. You can use leftover bread in the same way.
