# Caesar Mozzarella Sticks

#### Yields 15-18 sticks

Mozzarella sticks, but Caesar-fied. Dipped in our Miso Caesar Dressing and covered with grated parmesan, they are basically a salad… right?? We breaded them with Kooshy’s Italiano sourdough panko breadcrumbs, so that there was no need to mess around with other seasonings, plus the crunch factor was top tier. The perfect appetizer!

## Assembly

#### **Step 1**  Set up your breading station, as follows: 1) All-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper, in one dish; 2) Egg, water, salt, and black pepper, in another dish; 3) Panko and crushed potato chips in the third dish.

#### **Step 2**  Dredge the mozzarella slices in the flour mixture first, then the egg, then panko, tapping off excess of each mixture before every step. Double-bread the mozzarella by dipping the slices back into the egg mixture then panko.

#### **Step 3**  Set breaded mozzarella onto a tray in a single layer, then freeze for 30-45 minutes.

#### **Step 4**  Fill a medium pot halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350ºF. Fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown, and set onto a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack.

#### **Step 5**  Transfer mozzarella sticks to a platter and grate parmesan over top. Serve immediately with Miso Caesar Dressing, for dipping.
