Ingredients You Will Need
- Mozzarella cheese sticks or mozzarella cheese blocks cut into sticks 12 pieces about 300 grams
- Large eggs 2 whole
- Pork rind crumbs 1 cup finely crushed
- Parmesan cheese grated half cup
- Salt half teaspoon
- Black pepper quarter teaspoon optional
- Garlic powder quarter teaspoon optional
- Beef tallow or animal fat for frying about 2 cups
Step by Step Method
- First prepare your mozzarella cheese. If you are using cheese blocks cut them into stick shapes. Each stick should be about the length of your finger. Place the cheese sticks on a plate and put them in the freezer for about thirty minutes. This helps the cheese stay firm during coating and frying.
- While the cheese is chilling prepare your coating. Take pork rinds and crush them until they look like fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor or by placing them in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs into a shallow bowl.
- Add grated parmesan cheese to the pork rind crumbs. Mix them well using a spoon. Add salt and optional spices like black pepper or garlic powder if you like extra flavor. Stir until everything looks evenly mixed.
- Crack the eggs into another bowl. Beat them well until the yolks and whites are fully mixed. This egg mixture will help the coating stick to the cheese.
- Take the cheese sticks out of the freezer. Dip one stick into the egg mixture. Make sure it is fully coated with egg. Then roll it in the pork rind and parmesan mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.
- For extra crispiness dip the coated cheese stick back into the egg mixture again and then into the crumb mixture one more time. This double coating helps create a thicker crust.
- Place the coated sticks on a clean plate. Repeat the process until all cheese sticks are coated. When done place them back into the freezer for another twenty minutes. This step is very important to prevent cheese from melting too fast during frying.
- Heat beef tallow or animal fat in a deep pan over medium heat. The fat should be hot but not smoking. You can test by dropping a small crumb into the fat. If it sizzles gently it is ready.
- Carefully place a few cheese sticks into the hot fat. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about one to two minutes on each side. Turn them gently using tongs until they are golden brown.
- Remove the fried sticks and place them on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb extra fat. Continue frying the rest in small batches.
- Let the mozzarella sticks cool for a minute before serving. The cheese inside will be very hot and melty. Serve warm and enjoy the stretchy cheesy goodness.
