If you want to fry these so they are nice and crispy, freeze the cheese first. Otherwise the cheese melts before the coating solidifies.

These look great! Do you have any suggestions about how I could make these without egg? My little guy has an egg allergy. Milk maybe? Ideas welcome!

Milk will work as a substitute, but it isn't as thick as an egg and so I would suggest adding a little flour to make it a little thicker. Start with 3-4 tablespoons of flour and add cold milk gradually while stirring to help prevent lumps. Keep adding milk until it gets to the consistency you want. Then you can use it to dredge your cheese sticks. Good luck!
