Pretzel-Breaded Cheese

This Mozzarella Sticks Recipe Uses Pretzels Rather Than Bread Crumbs

This mozzarella sticks recipe differs from your average deep fried cheese snacks because instead of being breaded with bread crumbs, they were first covered in pretzels.

Created by Glamour4You, the Homemade Pretzel Mozzarella Sticks recipe calls for just four ingredients: flour, egg, pretzel crumbs and string cheese. The food blogger used a food processor to grind up the pretzels, which started off as being half regular size. There is basically a lot of dipping involved before you place the pretzel-covered mozzarella sticks in the oven to bake at 350 degrees.

If you own a deep fryer, you could also experiment with that. There is also a lot of room with experimentation in terms of what dipping sauce you go with.
