Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup creamy horseradish sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 lb or larger block of mozzarella cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • Peanut Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, honey, creamy horseradish, and salt. Stir until well combined. For best flavor, allow to rest in a covered container in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For best results allow to rest overnight before serving.
  • Cut the block of cheese into 1/2 inch sticks.
  • Place the eggs in a shallow bowl with an 1/8 tsp each; salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine. Place the bread crumbs in a second shallow bowl, season with 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper.
  • Take each cheese stick and dip it into the egg, letting the excess drip off.
  • Coat in the breadcrumbs, shake off the excess, and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining cheese sticks.
  • Once each cheese stick has been breaded, take each one through the egg and breadcrumbs again for a second coating. Place the mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet lined with wax paper; freeze for two hours.
  • Heat a few inches of oil in a deep cast iron skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees and fry until golden brown. Serve with horsey sauce or marinara.
