Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients:
1 lb. mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil

Directions:
Cut mozzarella into 18 (3 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch) sticks.  Combine flour, salt and pepper.  Dip cheese sticks into egg; dredge in flour mixture, and dip again in egg.  Roll in breadcrumbs; press firmly so crumbs adhere.  Place on wax paper, and chill 30 minutes.

Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch into a large heavy skillet; heat to 350 degrees.  Fry cheese sticks until golden; drain on paper towels.  Serve immediately.
