This is as spontaneous as it can get. The other day I was referred to a Kraft Eden site and I found out I can be part of a world breaking record on December 14. I got excited as I’m a cheese eater and lover. I usually eat a whole bar of cheese (the small one). Especially when I run out of time to eat and I’d have to rush to a strenuous event like a bowling tourney. I usually buy a bar of cheese and a liter of choco drink. Heaven!
Back to the Kraft site. My thoughts churned. My imagination rolled. I wanted to conceive an idea and contribute to the cheese recipes already existing. I wanted it my own. I also wanted it simple and economical yet special. Something that will make one crave for more.
Yesterday, I asked my eldest to buy the ingredients on her way home. This morning, an hour ago, I executed what brewed in my mind. It came out perfect for the first try. Just what I imagined. Below is the recipe and pictures taken were the first set…then I ran out of fuel. Good thing the first set was already perfect. 
Ingredients:
1 bar Kraft Eden cheese, sliced about half an inch thick then cut lengthwise in half so you get about 1/2 in x 1/2 in x 1 1/4 in.
corn starch (left) and granulated breading (right)
1 egg, beaten, with a pinch of rock salt (I don’t use table salt because it’s chemical-based. With rock salt, I can be sure it came from the sea.)
and some oil for frying (deep frying is NOT necessary).
Procedure:
1. Dip cheese stick in egg.
2. Cover with corn starch.
3. Dip again in egg.
4. Cover with granulated breading.
5. Set aside and repeat for each cheese stick you prepared.
6. Prepare your pan with some oil and with medium-low fire.
7. Put enough enough cheese sticks with enough room for turning and enough time to turn when golden brown (not charred).
8. Turn each stick upside down when golden brown. It takes about 1 minute only before it does turn golden brown.
9. Deoiling. Lay down fried cheese sticks on absorbent napkins for easy deoiling (I don’t know how it’s officially called in recipe terms).
10. Plating. Serve with tomato catsup or mayo or thousand island dressing. I prefer hot sauce but I don’t have it right now. You can also use gravy or sauce.
This is my YUMMy contribution! Lasang ulit!
