- ½ lb low moisture mozzarella
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup semolina or cornmeal
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp dried chervil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp freshly chopped rosemary
Cut the mozzarella into large rectangle sticks of even size so they fry evenly.

Whisk the egg with whole milk, a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Mix the flour, semolina or cornmeal, chili flakes, dried chervil, chili powder and chopped rosemary.
- dried breadcrumbs
Coat the sticks in egg, dredge in the seasoned flour, back into the egg, then coat heavily in dried breadcrumbs.
Optional: blitz fresh bread in a food processor and dry on a baking tray in a 250 degree oven about 20 minutes for breadcrumbs.
- canola oil
Heat a pot half filled with canola oil to about 325F; fry in batches about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Drain on dry paper towels; serve with a dipping sauce such as marinara or an herb aioli.
