If using a block of Cheese Sticks, slice it into uniform sticks about 3–4 inches long and ½ inch thick. Place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Freeze for 30–60 minutes. This step is crucial for ensuring the cheese doesn’t melt too quickly during frying, helping each stick keep its shape. Set Up Your Breading Station: Bowl 1 – Flour: Pour 1 cup of flour into a shallow dish. The flour creates a dry layer that helps the egg stick better.
Bowl 2 – Egg Mixture: In a second shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs with 3 tablespoons of milk until fully combined and smooth. Bowl 3 – Breadcrumbs: In a third dish, combine 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This mixture adds crunch and flavour to each bite.
