Ingredients

  • (8-oz.) pkgs. Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground red pepper
  • 1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • egg, beaten 
  • vegetable oil 
  • Optional: marinara sauce 

Preparation

  1. Cut cheese crosswise into 3/4-inch slices. Lay slices flat and cut in half lengthwise.
  2. Combine flour and red pepper; stir well. Combine bread crumbs and parsley in another bowl; stir well. Dip cheese sticks in beaten eggs. Dredge in flour mixture. Dip coated cheese in egg again; dredge in bread crumb mixture, pressing firmly so that crumbs adhere. Place cheese sticks on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze at least 30 minutes.
  3. Fry cheese sticks in 375-degree deep oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with marinara sauce, if desired.
