Cheesy sticks ~ Mozzerlla Milanese

I remember when I used to go to Chili's when I was a teenager, it was really the place to be back then. I remember everyone used to order their triple dipper. So now I am craving those fried cheese sticks, so I thought why not do it myself.
So this is my fried cheese sticks with an Italian herby twist.



Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
3 tbsp corn starch (optional, for a tighter batter)
2 eggs
1 tbsp water
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
4-6 basil leaves
4-6 thyme sprigs
1 16 ounce packet string cheese or mozzarella sticks
1 quart of oil for deep frying

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Cut cheese sticks into halves, (if you didn't find sticks, make sure you cut your cheese into 1/4 inch sticks. )
Finely chop the herbs.

Arrange your dredging station:
1-Flour and corn starch
2- whisk water,eggs, and black pepper
3-breadcrumbs and herbs

Roll each cheese stick in the flour, then roll the floured cheese stick into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours (or over night). Fry to deep golden perfection.
