Easy, delicious fried cheese sticks. Need it: Join us! Their taste buds will melt! ‘… Get your ingredients ready. Let’s start frying!
First things first, what stuff do you need? The recipe is very simple. Most items in your home are likely already there.’. Here’s what you’ll use.
- A block of cheese (about 200g works best)
- A few tablespoons of cornstarch
- 2 slices of bread
- A handful of Cheetos (yes, you read that right!)
- 2 eggs
These simple ingredients will help us create a cheesy, crispy snack that’s perfect for any occasion. Let’s get to work!
Step 1: Cheese Prep Begin by slicing the cheese into sticks. Make them finger-thick so they don’t melt too fast. But don’t make them too thick to bite. Aim for a gooey center and crispy outside.
Step 2: Cornstarch Dusting Lightly coat each cheese stick in cornstarch. This creates a crispy crust when fried. Roll each stick until it’s evenly covered. Cornstarch acts as a shield, preventing meltdowns.
Step 3: Breading Time Now, prep the breading. Break two bread slices into small crumbs. These crumbs will form the base of the crispy shell. Small crumbs stick best. Don’t stress about perfect crumbs; rustic is great!
Step 4: Cheetos Crunch Boost Add crushed Cheetos for extra crunch and cheese flavor. These orange puffs add fun and flavor. Crush a handful and mix with the breadcrumbs. This extra layer makes them better.
Step 5: Egg Prep Crack two eggs in a bowl and whisk them well. This egg wash helps the breading stick.
Step 6: Time to Dip Dip each cheese stick in the egg wash first. Make sure it’s fully coated. Next, roll it in the crumb mix until covered well. Even coating ensures crispy frying.
Step 7: Frying Time Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the coated sticks gently. Don’t crowd the pan; fry evenly. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden. The cheese will melt a bit; that’s perfect.
Step 8: Enjoy! Remove the golden sticks and drain on paper towels. Serve hot for the best bite. They’re great alone or with your favorite dip. Ketchup, ranch, or something spicy works.
Cheesy sticks, are easy to make! The tasty results are worth the small effort. Melty cheese, crisp breading, and Cheetos make them yummy. This snack is truly hard to stop eating. Make these for movie night or parties. Tell me how your cheesy sticks turn out. I am excited to hear about your snacks!
