Steps:
- Remove string cheese sticks from plastic wrappings and cut the strings in half crosswise.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs in a bowl and bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl.
- Dip cheese stick halves into egg and roll in bread crumbs to completely coat the sticks; place breaded cheese sticks onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow cheese sticks to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to set, and repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs to form a thick coating. Freeze breaded cheese sticks for at least 2 hours.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Deep fry cheese sticks, a few at a time, until the coating is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sticks drain on paper towels; cool slightly and serve warm.

I'VE GOT THE NEED, THE NEED FOR FRIED CHEESE!
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil to 325 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly. In another shallow bowl, combine the panko and Italian breadcrumbs.
- Dredge 1 side of an egg roll wrapper in the egg wash. Place the wrapper egg wash-side up on a work surface and put 2 salami slices in the center of the wrapper, toward the edge closest to you. Place 1 cheese stick on top of the salami. Roll the wrapper edge closest to you over the filling. Tuck in the ends and continue to roll until you have an egg roll shape.
- Dredge the rolled wrapper in the egg wash again and thoroughly coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. (The rolls can be frozen for future use at this point.)
- Add 1 or 2 rolls to the oil at a time and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook them or cook them on too high a temperature, as the wraps may explode. Transfer the fried cheese rolls to the paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately with marinara sauce. Garnish with parmesan and parsley, if desired.
I'VE GOT THE NEED, THE NEED FOR FRIED CHEESE
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, add oil and heat to 325 degrees F. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk thoroughly. In another medium bowl mix panko and Italian bread crumbs. Dredge 1 entire side of egg roll wrapper into egg wash. Place 2 slices of salami in the center of wrapper, towards the edge closest to you. Place 1 stick of cheese on top of salami. Roll wrapper edge closest to you over the filling. Tuck ends and continue to roll until it forms an egg roll shape. Dredge rolled wrapper in egg wash again, and then thoroughly coat in bread crumb mixture. (Wrappers can be frozen for future use at this point.) Add 1 to 2 rolled wrappers to oil at a time, cooking 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Be careful not to over cook, or cook on too high of a temperature as wraps may explode. Remove fried cheese to a paper-towel lined plate and serve immediately
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or fontina.
- Cut the cheese into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a light breading: A simple coating of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs will do the trick.
- Fry the cheese in hot oil: This will help create a crispy crust.
- Drain the cheese on paper towels: This will remove any excess oil.
- Serve the cheese immediately: Fried cheese is best when it's hot and gooey.
