Mozzarella Sticks with Wonton Wrappers
Description
This recipe uses square wonton wrappers to encase part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks. Each wrapper is brushed with an egg and water mixture for sealing, then rolled diagonally around the mozzarella, tucking in the edges tightly. After assembling, the sticks are frozen at least an hour to firm up and prevent the cheese from leaking during frying.
The frying process involves heating oil to 350°F and cooking the sticks in small batches until the wrappers turn a deep golden brown and the cheese is fully melted inside. Draining on paper towels and seasoning lightly with salt finishes the preparation. Serving immediately with warm marinara sauce provides a tangy complement to the rich cheese and crispy wrapper.
The recipe yields 40 sticks and is suited for gatherings or as a party snack where crisp texture and gooey cheese are desired.
