homemade fried cheese sticks

Ingredients

12 pieces string cheese

12 frozen empanada dough discs

Oil for deep-fat frying

Marinara or spaghetti sauce

Directions

1. Defrost the dough discs. I place them all on a plate stacked up with one paper towel in between each for 2 minutes in the microwave. 

2. Stretch out the dough disc a little if the cheese stick is a little bit longer than the disc.

3. Wrap the cheese stick in the dough disc. Make sure to press the edges of the dough so it will stay together.

4.Fry sticks, a few at a time, for 60-90 seconds on each side or until golden brown. 

5. Drain on paper towels. 

6. Serve with marinara sauce.
