Mozzarella Sticks
about 30 sticks

1 lb. mozzarella, not shredded
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
1 cup flavored bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying

Slice the mozzarella into flat wedges (it's easier to fry this way).
Set up 3 bowls, one with flour, one with egg, one with the bread crumbs.

Coat each piece of cheese first with flour, then egg, then bread
crumbs. Put immediately into the hot oil to fry.

Fry for a minute or two on each side until coating is golden brown and
the cheese is melted.

Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.

The difficult part of this is keeping the cheese from escaping
the coating while it's frying. For best results, don't let the oil get
too hot while frying, and try to keep the oil level at about 1/4 inch
deep at all times during the process (i.e., do not deep fry).
