Tasty Success

Seeing as my 'sweet' gluten free recipes were not working out last week I decided to take a break from them and work on something savory. Last week I had made a Gluten free sandwich bread and with the left over end of it I made bread crumbs. My mind was pondering what goodies I would make using them, chicken strips? no. homemade mac and cheese? no. Nothing I thought of sparked my interest so I hopped on Pinterest and looked through the food and drink category.  I found mozzarella sticks, not only that but the recipe was for GLUTEN FREE mozzarella sticks. My taste buds were watering as I read the directions. I had everything needed to make them and began setting everything up. Now because I've been doing this blog I've really been trying to do two things; 1 take pictures as I cook so I can share them on here and 2 write down the recipe. I eyeballed everything for this recipe but I did remember to take picture! lol

 Above I have my mozzarella cut into sticks, my rice flour and seasoning mixture, my egg wash, my bread crumbs, and a few sticks that already are coated. The KEY to making these work is dipping them twice in the two first bowls before rolling them in the bread crumbs. It fully coats the cheese enough to  let them get all melted without seeping out, I noticed on some of mine where they didn't get a good second coat they started to leak. So remember, roll in rice flour, egg wash, rice flour again, egg wash again and then coat with bread crumbs.

Make sure your oils nice and hot, these guys don't need that long for them to melt the inside and brown the outside.

Ta Da! The finished product with some marinara sauce to dip them in :) let me tell you they were yummy! :)
