  • Separate and place an egg roll wrapper onto your work surface with one of the tips pointed towards you. Moisten the two far edges of the wrapper with water. Place a string cheese stick onto the corner nearest you, and roll it in 1/3 of the way, fold over the right and left corners, then continue rolling to the end, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining string cheese sticks and egg roll wrappers.

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Dip the mozzarella sticks into the egg wash, then toss in the bread crumbs. Cook in batches in the hot oil until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

I submitted this recipe. Just a note: the way this was edited is not quite right. In step 2, I do not moisten any edges before I start rolling the string cheese up. Where is says to roll to the end and press to seal, I take a fork dipped in water and dab the inside of the open corner with it, then finishg rolling and press to seal. Also, in step 4, I repeat dipping the mozzarella sticks into the egg wash and into the bread crumbs. And of course, serve with marinara sauce ;). Enjoy! Read More

Not good. I tried these because I've had mozzarella sticks explode in the fryer but this recipe is just bad. The breaded egg roll wrapper is far too thick and the texture is unappetizing. Try another recipe. Read More

These were very good but I think they should be fried at a lower temp maybe 325 or 350 because they browned up really fast but the egg roll wrapper still seemed a little raw. I took the submitter's advice and double breaded them and that created an awesome crispy coating which I loved! Also I didn't measure the milk but I know that I did not use the full 2 cups maybe only 1/2-3/4 cup and I still had some leftover after double dipping the sticks. These may seem a little time consuming but they are absolutely not. All in all this was a great concept and they are good! I will definately be making these again with a few minor adjustments! Thanks for sharing.:) Read More

These are great Mozz sticks my Hubby liked them and that deserves a 20 in my book.. I put the left over ones in the freezer. The one thing I am going to do is also put some parm cheese in the Italian mix. Read More

I wasn't sure how there would turn out. The egg roll wrappers on cheese sticks sounded strange but they were REALLY good! Will definately make these again. Read More
