Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Choose according to preference
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs For coating
- 1 large egg Beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients so you’re ready to go. Preheat your frying oil in a pan over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper for added flavor. Stir well until the two cheeses are fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Forming and Coating
- Take a tablespoon of the cheese mixture and shape it into a stick (about 3 inches long). Repeat until you’ve shaped all your mixture.
- Dip each cheese stick in the beaten egg and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. This step is key to achieving that golden crunch!
Cooking
- Carefully place your coated sticks into the hot oil. Fry them until they’re golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them carefully and drain on paper towels.
Serving
- Serve your tasty cottage cheese sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
Notes
Replace breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days or freeze for a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
