Five Minute Fried Mozzarella Sticks
- 12 whole Individual Mozzarella Sticks
- 12 whole Large Egg Roll Wrappers
- Italian Seasonings To Taste
- Canola Oil, For Frying
- Pizza Sauce For Dipping (see My Recipe Box For A Killer Slow-cooker Pizza Sauce)
- Add 1/2-inch of oil to a tall-sided skillet and heat to 375 degrees F over medium to medium high heat.
- While the oil is heating, lay a mozzarella stick near the bottom corner of an egg roll wrapper and sprinkle with a small pinch of Italian seasonings.
- Fold the bottom corner over the cheese stick and roll it up about halfway up the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper in toward the center, moisten the remaining corner with a fingertip dipped in a bowl of water then tightly roll it the rest of the way to seal the wrapper.
- Repeat with remaining sticks and wrappers.
- Fry the sticks in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary and taking care not to crowd the pan, for between 30 and 60 seconds per side, or until deep golden brown.
- If your wrappers start to leak molten cheese, you can remove them earlier.
- Use tongs or a strainer to transfer the cheese sticks from the hot oil to a paper towel lined plate or platter.
- Let them rest for at least two minutes before biting into them.
- Serve, if desired, with pizza sauce for dipping.
