Gluten-free goat milk mozzarella cheese sticks best served hot, right out of the pan.
Ingredients
- 1/2 brick Happy Days Dairies Mozzarella Goat Milk Cheese, cut into sticks and frozen overnight
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or other frying oil
- 1/2 cup blanched finely ground almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 egg
- Marinara or pasta sauce, optional for dipping
Instructions
Place cheese sticks in the freezer overnight, at least 12 hours.
When you're ready to cook, add the oil to a medium-sized frying pan and heat on medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, combine almond flour, seasoning and salt on a plate. Set aside.
Crack egg into a bowl and whip with a fork for 1 minute.
One at a time, take a frozen cheese stick and cover it in egg. Then, transfer over to the almond flour mixture and coat the stick in batter. Make sure that it's well coated. Set on a clean plate and repeat with remaining frozen cheese sticks.
Place completed sticks into preheated oil and fry for 10-15 seconds per side. When they're golden all over, transfer to a cooling rack to allow the excess oil to drip off.
Serve immediately. With dip or on it's own.
