Cut mozzarella cheese into 3-inch sticks about ½-inch thick. Place bread crumbs in a small bowl; beat eggs in another small bowl; place flour on a plate.

Thoroughly coat the cheese in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in beaten egg, coating thoroughly, and then in bread crumbs. Press lightly to ensure an even coating. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes to allow the breading to set.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet just large enough to allow for 2 inches of oil. When oil is hot, fry a few cheese sticks at a time to a golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all cheese has been fried.

Serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Yield: 4 servings.

*Note: String cheese with each stick cut in half works well.
