If you see a group of people huddled around an appetizer table, it's probably because they're feasting on these fun snacks, writes field editor Darlene Brenden of Salem, Oregon. The cornflakes give them a crisp coating, and the soft creamy center has just enough kick to liven up any party. Ingredients:
1 pound block pepper jack cheese |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
3 cups crushed cornflakes |
oil for deep-fat frying |
salsa and guacamole |
Directions:
1. Cut cheese into 2-3/4-in. x 1/2-in. sticks. Place the flour, eggs and cornflakes in three separate shallow bowls. Coat cheese sticks with flour; dip in egg, then roll in cornflakes until well coated. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Cook cheese sticks in batches for 30 seconds or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Let stand for 3-5 minutes. Serve with salsa and guacamole. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
