  1. These were the bomb!! You know when your making a recipe and you hope the recipe is going to somewhat close to what you get when you order out. Well this is one of the few times they were actually better. Yes better. I was worried the batter would just fall off but it didn't which i will explain below. Tip: If you can't get the corn flakes to stick on the first go around and then dip it/them in egg again and roll it again in corn flakes. I made mine in the morning and then froze them for that night. I don't know if that made everything stick better only know it worked out well. The corn flakes made it extra crispy and it was awesome. I served it with marinara but i can see homemade guacamole as being awesome.
     
  2. Terrific cheese sticks! I would recommend crushing the cornflakes VERY fine as they would stick better to the egg wash - I learned this a little too late for this batch, though it didn't effect the flavor at all. I would also use this batter to make Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese sticks/balls. The cornflakes give them a nice, satisfying CRUNCH! Made for Photo Tag, 1/13/09.
     
  3. I am so glad that I stumbled across your recipe. These were fantastic. The cornflake crust is absolutely to die for. I had a bit of trouble with the cheese falling apart but well worth it all. Thanx so much.
