1 teaspoon Italian spices
²⁄₃ cup flour

Slice thick logs of the cheese, easy way is to make a thick slice and then slice that into the logs. Or you can cheat and get the cheese sticks, you know -- the prepackaged ones!

and set aside.

Click to enlargeHeat your vegetable oil for deep frying to 360 degrees. A pan with a fry basket is really handy but you can do small batches (they have to come out quick) with a metal slotted spoon. Keep the salt next to the stove, this will smother any possible grease fires.
Dip cheese in flour then in egg and then coat with
bread crumbs. Dip in egg again, then breadcrumbs once more.
Place carefully in hot oil and fry until
golden, this takes just a few seconds so watch carefully.

Overall Tips & Warnings.
You can use whatever cheese you want!
Salt smothers grease fires. Always keep it handy and open!
Try to get them out the moment they turn golden so the cheese doesn't melt out.
make sure they are completely covered when battering them so there is no leakage.
If you don't have an oil thermometer use the 'water' test. Keep a glass of water next to you and dip your fingers in it and drip it in the heating oil, once the oil 'POPS' it is ready!
You can adjust the spice in ANY way you want, try them cajun -- I did that and it was AWESOME!
FIRE is always a danger when deep frying, I can't stress the salt enough!

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers. 8724441"
