How To Make easy peasy mozzarella appetizers
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2Gather and prep all your ingredients.
-
Step 3Chef’s Note: Wonton wrappers are the ideal size (3.5 inches square). However, in a pinch, you can cut large eggroll wrappers to the same size.
-
Step 4Chef’s Note: Cut the mozzarella into sticks 1/4 inch thick by 3 inches wide.
-
Step 5Heat about a 1/4-inch of oil in a pan to 350f (175c).
-
Step 6Place a stick of mozzarella on a wonton wrapper.
-
Step 7Use a bit of water to dampen the two top sides of the wanton wrapper.
-
Step 8Fold up the bottom.
-
Step 9Tuck in the sides.
-
Step 10Roll into a tight bundle.
-
Step 11Repeat for the other mozzarella sticks.
-
Step 12Add them to the hot oil.
-
Step 13Allow them to cook for about 1 minute per side.
-
Step 14Chef’s Tip: If you let them cook too long the cheese will expand and ooze out of the wrapper. I HATE it when that happens.
-
Step 15Chef’s Tip: If you are making several batches of these, preheat your oven to 200f (95c), and put them in there to keep warm until ready to serve.
-
Step 16PLATE/PRESENT

Step 17Serve while still warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
-
Step 18Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
