Fried Cheese using Provolone or Mozzarella is my favorite Italian appetizer of all time.
These cheese sticks are delicious before-dinner snacks, party food, and one of the requests for me to make during gameday gatherings.
The coating is very easy to make in our step-by-step instructions and you're going to love all that crunch with melted cheese oozing out and then dipped in the marinara sauce as an appetizer..
You may be more familiar with fried cheese sticks being made with mozzarella only but provolone has a stronger bold taste and it's my favorite of the two kinds of cheese.
Well, I am here to tell you both are fabulous, and it's a hard decision to choose which is better since we are talking about crunchy melted-fried cheese right?!
I happened to be introduced to the provolone version long ago at a favorite restaurant in Utica NY.
Back in the 1980s, there was a little place in Charlestown Mall that had a restaurant that had them on their menu.
When I saw them I was a little skeptical since they were always made with mozzarella, at least that's what I thought back then.
The soft provolone melty cheese was superb and better than anything I ever had, I decided to venture out and make a copycat of them and the first bite gave me a flood of wonderful memories because this was perfect as I remembered them!
The marinara is freshly made and I also use my recipe for fried cauliflower, fried zucchini and of course another family favorite, panzarotti.
