PIZZA STIX

Category: Hot

1 (14 oz) package egg roll wrappers
24 (1 oz) pieces string cheese
25 (4 oz) pkg sliced pepperoni sausage, cut into strips
1 (6 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
1 (14 oz) jar marinara sauce

Lay out the egg roll wrappers one at a time. Place one piece of string cheese in the center near the edge, then arrange some pepperoni, sliced mushrooms and garlic around the cheese.

Roll up the string cheese a little, fold in the sides, then continue to roll up, and seal the edge by moistening with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers, cheese and fillings.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet, or deep fryer to 365. Fry enough to fit loosely in the pan, turning once after about 5 minutes. Continue to fry for 3 to 5 more minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Warm the marinara sauce in a serving bowl in the microwave. Serve Pizza Stix on a platter with the bowl of sauce for dipping.
