So I saw an awesome idea for Mozzarella Sticks on Pinterest (where else?) and thought-this is my kind of snack. Well, it’s my kind of snack in that it’s quick but I’m not fussy on doing a lot of frying (especially with my number one helper always in the kitchen with me) and I really don’t like cheese strings.
What I do love is a two ingredients appetizer that takes seconds to make and that I can take to my neighbours as a thank-you for changing the tires on my car to winter ones. If you live in a cold climate you understand what a pain it is to change your vehicle’s tires twice a year. You wait as long as possible to put the snows on since they destroy your gas milage, make an appointment at a garage, rearrange your whole day to include the 2 hours it takes them to get it done…you get the idea. My amazing neighbours deserve a treat for saving me the aggravation-my only worry is that I know they often read this blog and now it’s going to be revealed how easy their gift was. Wow, shooting myself in the foot here but…
Take eggroll wrappers (you usually find these in the produce department) and them all out on your counter in diamond shapes. Place finger sized pieces of really good cheddar 2/3’s of the way down.
With fingers dipped in water, wet the two bottom sides.
Fold the bottom end up to the middle.
Fold one side over to the middle.
Repeat with the other side and then roll.
You’re almost done.
Toss in a olive oil to coat.
Place on a baking tray and cook at 400 degrees until they are crispy and brown.
Put in a pretty container and serve with a bit of marinara sauce.
Hmmm, this looks so yum, and I bet it tastes equally yummy.
that looks so good!!! I'll have to try it! :o)
Oohh! I'm so glad you made these first so that I can know that baking them works! lol! I had these pinned too but hadn't tried them yet, and was unsure about them getting crispy enough if you baked them. Totally have to do it now!! evie
love the colour in those last three photos!can you send our neighbour over to my place pretty please….i can't seem to find time to take my van in (sounds like we may get a snow storm tonight…oops)?
Michi, thanks so much. I've been trying to take to heart all of your suggestions and try something new each week.You're on your own convincing Tom š
Nah…you didn't shoot yourself in the foot! They didn't have to make them even if they're easy to make. Besides if they don't do much frying or have never used egg roll wrappers it can be intimidating. I pined this on pinterest too…they look really yummy.
These look so good and easy. And I don't like to fry many things either! I'm going to "pin" this recipe š Very nice blog!
