Expert Tips

Take a dip! Serve cheese sticks with salsa, spaghetti or pizza sauces--they’re perfect for dipping.

Freezing the cheese first allows the outside to get crispy before the cheese starts to melt.

I use string cheese (don't forget to freeze them). Family loves them.

Went so much better than I thought, based on the reviews. I used string cheese sticks cut in half and a fry daddy, and none exploded. I do agree that they need more flavor. Next time I will try adding seasonings other than paprika!

My guilty pleasure is cheese, and fried cheese sticks are my favorite way to indulge. I loved this batter! I used mozzarella, and felt like I was eating mozzarella sticks I bought at a restaurant. Not an expensive dish as most ingredients are on hand already.
