Oh, mozzarella sticks...
...how I've missed thee

I thought I'd take the opportunity of being between jobs to conduct an experiment: feeding myself (homemade) buffalo mozzarella sticks.

I picked up buffalo mozzarella at the gourmet food shop just south of Noah's on Yonge, north of Eglinton (sorry, I can't remember the name of the place itself!) The intent was, hopefully, to find a mozzarella that my digestive system can process more readily than cow's milk mozzarella. The precedent is that goat's cheese doesn't cause me discomfort (just the bloat) that cow's cheese does.

Today I cut the cheese into wedges, dippped those into an egg wash, then a flour and thyme mixture, back into the egg, and then into panko bread crumbs. After a quick chill in the freezer, I dropped them into hot oil for a few seconds to brown.

It was so great to be able to eat mozzarella sticks again, and I've yet to suffer any ill effects. Yay, buffalo mozzarella!
