These small cubes give that crunchy taste without the heaviness of a full stick. Add vegetables to the picture, and you’re good to go!

Make the Fried Cheese Skewers
Yields 30-36 mini skewers.
-
Remove string cheese from plastic wrapping and cut each stick into five or six pieces. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
-
Place eggs in a bowl. Place flour and bread crumbs on two separate plates.
-
Dip cheese stick pieces into flour, then into egg, and roll in bread crumbs to completely coat; place breaded cheese sticks onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Allow cheese sticks to stand at room temperature for about five minutes to set, then dip again into egg and bread crumbs to form a thick coating. Freeze breaded cheese sticks for at least two hours.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan. Deep-fry cheese sticks, a few at a time, until the coating is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is soft, about one to three minutes.
-
Let sticks drain on paper towels; cool slightly and skewer them with vegetables, as shown in the photo.
Serve alongside warmed marinara sauce, as a dipping accompaniment.
Note:
If you are not serving them right away, you can heat the skewers on a lined baking sheet until cheese is soft.
Tip:
If string cheese is not available, you can cut your own cubes of cheese measuring 1x1½ inches (3.5x3.5 centimeters).
