In these days of Carnival, it is common the possibility that we have to attend a costume party with our children, or that we have to organize it at home. We already told you the other day how to make some fun Carnival masks made of puff pastry and chocolate and today I want to show you how to prepare some melted cheese sticks for Carnival costume parties, I'm sure everyone will like it.
This recipe, you can make it with any case you like, and you can top it both by frying them in a pan or deep fryer with oil, or by baking them in the oven, so that they will be much lighter by not having more fat than the cheese itself. You will see how well children eat them.
Ingredients for 6 sticks
300 g of Emmental cheese, wheat flour, 1 beaten egg, breadcrumbs
How to make melted cheese sticks for children
If you are going to do like me these melted cheese sticks for a carnival costume party, or for any other party or birthday, you have to take into account the cheese you are going to use. If you choose a hard cheese, such as Emmental, there is no problem but if you choose other softer cheeses, or even if you make them with mozzarella, then it is important that after cutting the sticks or sticks, freeze the cheese so that it is very hard.
Once ready, we pass them by flour, then by the beaten egg and finally by the breadcrumbs. If you want to give it a tastier touch, mix the breadcrumbs with crushed corn flakes or with kikos or add some spices.
Once they are well breaded, it is convenient to put them back 20 minutes in the freezer so when we brown them-whether in the oven or in the fryer- they don't melt. To make them in the pan, heat the oil until it is very hot so that the immersion is short and they roast quickly. Then we will drain them on absorbent paper before serving them.
If we make them in the oven, we preheat it to 200ºC while our already battered sticks are in the freezer. Then, on a tray with a silicone tablecloth or a sheet of sulfurized paper, place the cheese sticks and bake them for 5 minutes on each side. We must watch so that the cheese does not come out or our effort will spoil.

Tasting
The Molten cheese sticks are delicious freshly made, but when we see that they no longer burn. Children will love to stretch them and see how melted cheese has become elastic. If you want you can serve them with a little fried tomato sauce, or with some cherry tomatoes.
