Keto Flaming Hot Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients

• 9 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks, cut in half
• 2 Large Eggs, beaten
• 4 tbsp Coconut Flour
• 3 bags Flaming Hot Cheese Puffs, Schoolyard Snacks, crushed, 4 tbsp reserved for post-frying
• Oil, for frying

Steps

1. Set up a dredging station to make your mozzarella sticks: 1 bowl for the beaten eggs, 1 bowl for the coconut flour, and 1 bowl for the flaming hot cheese puffs. TIP: only add a few spoonfuls of crushed puffs to the bowl at a time while you coat the mozzarella sticks. This keeps the mixture dry and clump-free
2. Coat each mozzarella stick in the beaten egg, followed by the coconut flour, then the beaten egg again, and a final roll in the crushed flaming hot cheese puffs. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining mozzarella sticks.
3. Freeze the coated mozzarella sticks for 1 hour before frying to help them keep their shape.
4. Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of frying oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil shimmers at a drop of water, add two to three sticks at a time, being careful not to let the coating burn. You can reduce the heat to medium if the centers are not getting done.
5. Remove the sticks from the frying oil and coat in the reserved crushed puffs. Repeat with remaining mozzarella sticks. Serve warm.
