re: Anyone have The Caterie’s fried cheese recipe?

I never worked there, but two of my college neighbors did(1989-1990). They were definitely not pre-breaded back then. In fact, the slices were way too thick and didn’t melt through all the time. They started cutting them slightly thinner to get a better product.

Hmm. I always just bought string cheese and breaded and fried it. I thought that is what everyone did.

The old school Sammy's cheese sticks were made by hand. I've seen it in person. Sammy's post 2016, I don't know.



Pre-2016 are the ones I was talking about. Someone claimed to have the recipe and would post it. Never happened.

I actually copied this from here, years ago. Don't remember who provided it though, but it works.

Sammy’s Cheese Sticks

Buy mozzarella in a big block. Cut into sticks.

Prepare two buttermilk batters, a flour batter(seasoned. We used cayenne, powdered garlic, and salt), and a panko batter with italian seasoning (dried).

Dip cheese in buttermilk, then flour, then buttermilk, then panko.(make sure the sticks are fully coated by each) Line on wax paper on cooking sheet.

Stick in freezer for an hour or so. Keep in fridge after the batter and cheese set. Fry up.

My SO worked at Sammy's back in the 90s and we have a binder full of recipes, fried cheese included.

I can post it if you still want it!

ETA: clearly I did not read through the thread, because I now see it has been posted on this very page
