Gluten-Free Fried Mozzarella Sticks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup gluten-free flour, mix
2 cups dry gluten-free breadcrumbs (plain or unflavored)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 lb whole milk mozzarella cheese, cut into 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch strips or 1 lb mozzarella string cheese, each stick cut in half
canola oil, for frying
1 cup jarred marinara sauce

Preparation

Heat 1 cup of canola or other vegetable oil in a pan. In a small pot, heat up the marinara sauce (or use microwave).
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl or pie tin. In a second pie bowl or pie tin, combine bread crumbs with all of the herbs and spices. Place flour in a third bowl or pie tin.
Coat each piece of cheese with flour. Dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs.
Dip in egg and bread crumbs a second time, making sure that the entire piece of cheese is coated in crumbs.
Carefully place each cheese stick in the hot oil and cook until golden, about a minute on each side. Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
Leftovers can be frozen and reheated in the oven.
