Cheese Wontons

That's right.  I've attempted and perfected cheese wontons.  Yum.  Mee.

• 20 string cheese sticks
• 1 pkg wonton wrappers
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups bread crumbs
• black pepper
• fryer with oil
• marinara and/or honey mustard for dipping

1. have a bowl for bread crumbs (mixed with black pepper to taste)
2. have a bowl for your beaten eggs
3. cut each string cheese stick into thirds
4. place each piece of cheese into a wonton wrapper and roll up
5. once all the cheese is in rolled wrappers, begin to bread them
6. first dip in egg
7. then dip in bread crumbs
8. set aside
9. fry at 350-degrees for 2 minutes

I initially intended to bake these.  And I did try a sample batch via baking...but they were horrible.  So bad that Bryker wouldn't even try the fried version because he insisted they'd be just as bad as the baked ones.  His loss - because they weren't bad at all...in fact, they were incredibly delicious!

Just more proof that most things really are better when fried.
