INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz mozzarella, sliced 1/4” thick

- 2 tbsp half and half
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Cattleman’s Grill Lone Star Brisket Rub

- 11/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Kozlik’s Triple Crunch

INSTRUCTIONS
- Press the power button on the Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill, but do not press the start button. This will allow the fans to push air through the grill without igniting a fire.

When the pellets are well ignited blow out the fire. Place the sliced mozzarella on a Frog Mat and transfer to the second shelf of the grill.
- Cold smoke the cheese on Yoder for 2 hours. Remove and refrigerate until use.
- Whisk eggs and half and half. Place in a bowl. Place flour in a bowl. Place panko and Cattleman’s Grill Lone Star in a bowl and mix.
- Heat the frying oil 375ºF in a Lodge 12” Cast Iron Skillet.
- Fry the breaded cheese on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Transfer to a wire rack over a sheet pan to drain the oil.
- Whisk the mayonnaise and Kozkik’s Triple Crunch. Continue whisking while thinning with buttermilk to desired consistency.
- Serve the smoked mozzarella sticks with the dipping sauce.
