When you're ready to fry the cheese sticks, heat the oil in your heavy bottom pot to 375F.

Add in 6 of the cheese sticks and cook until golden brown. This will only take a couple of minutes.

Flip them halfway through cooking for even color.

Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Continue cooking the remaining 6 cheese sticks.

      I tested that and the cheese melted before the breading was crispy.

    Description says this recipe contains parmesan cheese, but I'm not seeing it in the recipe. Did I miss something?
