Keto Pepperjack Cheese Sticks
Looking for a twist on the traditional fried mozzarella stick? Go for a brick of pepperjack cheese! Homemade cheese sticks are far better in flavor than any restaurant version you’ve had in the past. This recipe is very versatile – you can choose almost any type of cheese that comes in brick form. This snack is a little spicy, a little crispy, and VERY addictive!
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare the pepperjack cheese by cutting an 8oz block into approximately 3 X ½-inch pieces, as pictured.
Step 2
In one bowl, crack and whisk an egg. In a second bowl, sift and combine the parmesan, flour, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Prepare a sheet tray by lining it with wax paper. One by one, dip the cheese sticks into the egg, into the flour mixture, and placing it on the sheet tray.
Step 4
Once all the cheese sticks have been prepared, freeze them for at least six hours.
Step 5
When it’s time to cook the cheese sticks, heat up to 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, drop the frozen cheese sticks in the skillet. Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, and allow them to drain on a paper towel to soak up excess grease. Enjoy hot!
