- 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
For a Halal-friendly option, use halal-certified cheese brands. 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.
