Cheese Sticks Recipe

*note: picture looks like breaded cheese sticks while recipe suggests use of lumpia wrapper

Ever tried running out of bread, but still having lots of cheese? That’s an opportunity right there! Make cheese sticks with the rest of the cheese waiting to be used up. These good-looking and tasty treats can be served as an appetizer or snack when family or friends come over.

Did you know that the first known cheese sticks were made in Paris with Muenster cheese, then Mozarella cheese? It was found in some French cookbook in the 12th century. They were served with soup, or consumed with sauce or jam. But the rest is history. In the Philippines, we can make use of cheddar cheese that is readily accessible from the supermarkets. The sauce used varies according to consumers’ or cooks’ preferences. But some of the commonly used sauces are: mayonnaise, mayonnaise mixed with ketchup, and sweet-and-sour sauce. The recipe below uses cheddarcheese as the main cheese ingredient, and you can modify the kind of cheese to incorporate in the future.

In your next family holiday, don’t forget to bring dozens of cheese sticks for you and thegroup to enjoy. Or you could cook up a special sauce to be served with your very owncheese sticks for that special someone and make it a date to remember with a touch of ‘cheezy-ness’.

Ingredients:

• 10-15 lumpia wrappers
• 100 grams (3.5 oz.) cheddar cheese
• oil for deep frying
• water for sealing lumpia wrappers

Cooking Instructions:

1. Steam the lumpia wrappers for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Slice the cheese into 10-15 sticks, each about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Put each stick in a lumpia wrapper. Seal each.
