List of Ingredients

1/2 pound melting cheese (Provolone, Mozzarella, Gruyère, etc.)
Flour
2 eggs, beaten
Dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons minced green onion
2 teaspoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon minced capers


Recipe

1. Cut cheese into 2-1/2 × 1/2-inch sticks. Dust with flour. Dip in beaten egg and into crumbs. Press crumbs around cheese; dip again in egg and crumbs to make a firm coating. Refrigerate until time to serve. Deep fry 3 or 4 at a time, turning once, until desired browness is reached. Remove from oil and drain on absorbent paper. Repeat until all are cooked.

2. Combine remaining ingredients and serve as a dip for cheese.
