Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 36 slices of pepperoni
  • 12 large egg roll wrappers
  • 12 pieces string cheese, room temperature
  • peanut oil (or other high temperature oil)
  • pizza sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • heavy skillet or pot
  • paper towels
  • dipping bowls

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place three pieces of pepperoni diagonally on top of an egg roll wrapper. Place a piece of room-temperature string cheese on top.
  2. Fold corners over cheese, then fold bottom corner over cheese and pepperoni and continue rolling tightly until cheese is sealed. Moisten corners with water to seal completely.
  3. Repeat with remaining wrappers, cheese, and pepperoni to make 12 pizza sticks total.
  4. In a heavy skillet or pot, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
  5. Fry sticks a few at a time for 45-60 seconds on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use room temperature cheese for even melting. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Keep oil temperature at 350°F for best results. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before frying.
