Mozzarella Cheez-It® Cheezy Ranch Cheese Sticks

Ingredients(9)

Steps(5)

  • 1

    Set up a breading station. In a small shallow bowl mix the flour with plenty of salt and pepper. Add beaten eggs to a second bowl. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko crumbs, the Cheez-It® crumbs and the ranch seasoning mix together.

  • 2

    Working one at a time, dip a piece of cheese into the egg mixture, followed by the flour mixture, then back into the egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure the crumbs stick.

  • 3

    Set the cheese stick on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining cheese. When all are prepared, freeze the sticks 30–60 minutes.

  • 4

    In a large pot set over medium heat, bring the oil to 350°F. When ready, gently drop a few cheese sticks into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.

  • 5

    Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese sticks. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
