These 3 ingredient Romanian cheese sticks are an easy spin on a classic Romanian recipe. Known as <em>sărățele</em> in Romanian, they have a crisp exterior and a chewy interior with flakey layers of cheesy flavour. They're truly a crowd pleaser and this recipe makes enough for 6 people to nibble during your next gathering. Or you can keep all the cheesy goodness for yourself and store them in a sealed tupperware for up to a week

Sărățele: 3 Ingredient Romanian Cheese Sticks

flour (or approx. 2.5 cups)

mascarpone (or approx. 1.5 cups)

cheese (or approx. 1 and 3/4 cups)

white and black sesame seeds (optiona)

Mix all the ingredients together by hand or with a paddle attachment of a stand mixer.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut into 4 equal parts. Take one piece to work on and set the other 3 aside.

Roll the dough out into a roughly rectangular shape until a bit thinner than pie crust - about 2-3mm. Trim the top and bottom edges and then cut the dough into strips approximately 1/2 centimeter thick and 9 cm long.

Lay out the strips onto a baking tray and apply water or eggwash and seeds if using.

Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes or until golden.

Repeat with remaining dough. At the end combine then roll out all the scraps and cut them freehand into strips.

Baked Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

cheese

all-purpose flour

water

bread crumbs

panko bread crumbs

butter (melted)

salt

black pepper

marinara or spaghetti sauce (warmed)

For making the Mozzarella Sticks:

Line a baking sheet with foil, and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Halve each cheese stick crosswise (so they&#x27;re shorter)

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and water together. In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the seasoned bread crumbs, panko crumbs, melted butter, salt and pepper.

For the dredging process, roll the cheese sticks in flour, roll in the egg mixture and then the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coatings, pressing the breadcrumbs into the cheese stick. There will be 5 coatings in all.

Place the dredged cheese sticks on the prepared pan, cover and freeze 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

When Ready to Bake:

Heat oven to 415°F and set the oven rack to the middle position. Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer while the oven preheats. Bake 10-20 minutes or until heated through, crispy and golden. Turn halfway through baking.

Serve with a side of marinara or spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!
