      Title: FRIED MOZZARELLA CHEESE
 Categories: Appetizers
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 lb Mozzarella cheese
    1/2 c  Flour
      3 lg Eggs
      1 c  Bread crumbs
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Oregano
    1/2 ts Cumin, ground
      1 pn Salt and pepper
      8 oz Marinara sauce,
           -chilled
           Vegetable oil
 
  Cut the mozzarella into sticks a bit more than about 1/4 inch thick
  and about 1 1/2 inches long. Coat the sticks with flour, shaking off
  excess. Combine the bread crumbs and seasonings in a flat dish. Beat
  the eggs and place in a separate bowl.
  
  Coat the sticks by dipping them in the egg and then in the bread
  crumbs. The coating on the first stick should be fairly dry when you
  finish the last stick. Repeat with another dip in the egg and then in
  the bread crumbs.
  
  Deep-fry the coated sticks in oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until the
  coating is cooked. Fry in batches, keeping the finished ones warm in
  the oven. Serve with chilled marinara sauce or salsa.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  Fried mozzarella sticks with marinara -- Use your imagination when
  choosing spices. The spices listed here are just a suggestion.
  
  *  Be careful when frying, as some sticks split open when they are
  done, leaving lots of cheese in your frying oil. You may need more
  egg or bread crumbs, depending on how many sticks you have and how
  thick you coat them.
  
  : Difficulty:  moderate (frying skill required).
  : Time:  10 minutes preparation, 5 minutes cooking.
  : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
