In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).

Here, we skip the mess of dredging and deep frying with these super-easy mozzarella sticks.

Ingredients

15 egg roll wrappers
1 pound smoked mozzarella, cut into 3x1/2" logs
Canola oil (for frying)
Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange stack of egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface in front of you like a diamond. Working with one at a time, brush surface lightly with water. Place a mozzarella log across bottom third of diamond. Roll cheese up tightly in wrapper, tucking corners in halfway through. Seal edges, then repeat with remaining wrappers and cheese.

    Step 2

    Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet to come 1/8" up sides; heat over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, fry mozzarella sticks, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels and season immediately with salt. Let cool slightly before serving.
