Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients: 
Polly-O String Cheese sticks
Egg Roll Wrappers
1 Pint Egg beaters
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
Soybean Oil - Enough to fill a skillet approximately 1/2 inch

Preparation:
Cut cheese sticks in half (approx 2 1/2 inch pieces) and place at the end of an egg roll wrapper. Roll wrapper halfway around the cheese stick and then fold each side over (similar to how you would have rolled quarters in a wrapper).  Continue to roll the remainder of the wrapper until approximately 3/8 - 1/2 of an inch of the wrapper exposed.  Brush on a small amount of egg beater and complete roll. 

Place breadcrumbs in one shallow dish and egg beaters in another.  Dip the rolled cheese stick in the egg beater mix then roll in the breadcrumbs pressing them into the sides. 

Repeat this with the rest of the cheese sticks (should yield 2x the total number of sticks in the package).

In a shallow skillet, heat oil until a droplet of water will dance (excess of 212 degrees F).  Place cheese sticks in pan rotating every 10 - 15 seconds to ensure even cooking.  Remove from oil when breading has browned and place on a paper towel to allow excess oil to drain. 

Serving:
Best served with Joe's homemade pasta sauce
