Equipment

  • 1 sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 4 large free-run eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 1/2 cups fine breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 lb. Pepper Jack cheese, cut into 3 1/2 inches

Instructions

  • Set aside. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a bowl, combine flour and cayenne pepper; whisk to incorporate. Place in a sizable, resealable plastic bag and transfer.
    Prepare two small, shallow bowls: one for the breadcrumbs and the other for the beaten eggs. Stir in the Italian spice to the breadcrumbs.
  • Place the cheese sticks in the flour mixture in groups of six, seal the bag, and shake to coat.
    One at a time, dredge the cheese stick in the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, and then repeat. On the preheated baking sheet, put the breaded stick.
  • After the sticks have been well coated, place them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
    Heat the oil in a frying pan to 350–365°F. Fry the sticks in batches after taking them out of the freezer, being careful not to crowd the pan. Use a spider stainer to gently move them about so that they cook evenly.
  • When the cheese sticks are golden brown, move them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Let them sit there for five minutes before serving.
